Repparfjorden is a fjord in the municipality of Kvalsund in Finnmark, Norway. It has a length of about fourteen kilometers, and cuts into Porsangerhalvøya from the west, southeast of Kvaløya.

As of 2015, the municipal and national authorities have made plans to dump up to two million tons of waste into the fjord annually for fifteen years. The material is waste from planned copper mines that the authorities have approved. Hundreds of youths are on lists of people who are said to be willing to engage in civil disobedience to protest the expected dumping of waste into the fjord.
