===Coat of arms=== The [[coat of arms]] was adopted on 20 June 2019 for use starting on 1 January 2020 after a municipal merger. The [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a mountain peak [[argent]]"''. This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a mountain peak. The mountain peak has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The arms were designed to look like the local mountain [[Stetind]]. The arms were designed by Eirik Djupvik.<ref name="HW">{{Cite web |date=24 July 2022 |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Narvik |access-date=2023-02-03 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2019-06-20 |title=Nytt kommunevåpen vedtatt |url=https://www.nrk.no/nordland/nytt-kommunevapen-vedtatt-1.14596440 |access-date=2020-02-09 |work=NRK Nordland |language=no}}</ref> The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 1 June 1951 and they were in use until 1 January 2020 when there was a municipal merger. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Gules]], an anchor [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|På rød bunn et opprett gull anker}}). This means the arms have a red [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is an [[anchor]]. The anchor has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The anchor symbolises Narvik's status as an important [[port]] (the largest [[harbour]] in North Norway). The arms were designed by [[Hallvard Trætteberg]].<ref name="HW" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=Narvik, Nordland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-18-05.html |access-date=2023-02-03 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1951-06-01 |title=Forskrift om godkjennelse av byvåpen, Narvik kommune, Nordland |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1951-06-01-1 |access-date=2023-02-03 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> <gallery> Narvik komm 2020.svg|Current arms since 2020 Narvik komm.svg|Arms (1951-2019) </gallery>
