The Kåfjord ( samisk Gáivuotna ) is a fjord arm of the Lyngen Fjord in the community Kåfjord in Troms in Norway. The fjord extends 20 km to the southeast to Birtavarre (or Kåfjordbotn ).

The mouth of the fjord is located between the peninsulas Ystebyneset in the north and in the south Nordnesodden. The place Olderdalen lies on the north side just inside the mouth. From Olderdalen there is a ferry across the fjord to Lyngseidet on the other side of the Lyngen Fjord. Here is the church of Kåfjord (Norwegian Kåfjord Kyrke ). On the south side of the Kåfjords is a bay which is only called Bukta and at the place Løkvoll is. The place Skardalen is a little further within the fjord on the south side.

The E6 circles the fjord on both sides.
