Hol (Norwegian) or Hovllák (Northern Sami)[2] is a village in Tjeldsund Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The village is located along the Tjeldsundet strait on the northeastern shore of the island of Tjeldøya. The village lies about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of the Ramsund Bridge. Tjeldsund Church is located in this village.

The village was the administrative centre of Tjeldsund Municipality until 1 January 2020 when Tjeldsund Municipality and Skånland Municipality merged and the larger village of Evenskjer was chosen to be the new administrative centre of the newly enlarged municipality.
