Oksfjord is a port town in Loppa municipality (Finnmark, Norway). The town has population around 500 and is the municipality's administrative center. Oksfjord is located at the mouth of Oksfjorden, approx 20 km (12 mi) northwest of Oksfjordbotn village (at the fjord's other end).
Historically, the village was an important regional fishing settlement, Until the 1980s, here functioned two factories - one fish processing and one for fish oil. Town's main business today is fish farming. Oksfjord has Loppa's main church.
Since most of Loppa is inaccessible by car, Oksfjord is a major transportation hub with car ferry connections to Nuvsvag, Sor-Tverrfjord and Bergsfjord. There is a regularly scheduled ferry service to Hasvik (on Soroya island).
