Norrbotten County, Norrbottens län, is the northernmost part of Norrland, Sweden.
Bordering to Norway and Finland it covers 100 000 square kilometres (nearly a quarter of Sweden's total area and larger than countries such as Hungary and Portugal), from the tall mountains in the west, to the coast and archipelagoes in the east. It includes the province of Norrbotten and the northern part of the province of Lappland. Much of Norrbotten County is within the Arctic Circle, meaning that Midnight Sun and Arctic Night occur.
