The Røvik Tunnel (Norwegian: Røviktunnelen) is a road tunnel that is part of Norwegian National Road 80 in Fauske Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.[1] It runs parallel to the Nordland Line between Røvik and Valnesfjord, just west of the town of Fauske.[2]

Before the tunnel was opened on August 30, 2011,[3] National Road 80 used to continue along Skjerstad Fjord through Venset, then turning north to Valnesfjord. The old route is now Norwegian County Road 530.[4][5] The tunnel shortened the distance between Bodø and Fauske by 6.2 kilometers (3.9 mi).
