{{native name|no|'''Røyrvik'''}} or {{native name|sma|'''Raarvihke'''}} is a [[List of municipalities of Norway|municipality]] in [[Trøndelag]] [[Counties of Norway|county]], [[Norway]]. It is part of the [[Namdalen]] [[Districts of Norway|region]]. The [[administrative centre]] of the municipality is the [[Røyrvik (village)|village of Røyrvik]]. The area has always had a strong [[Sami people|Sami]] influence. The village lays relatively close to the [[Norway–Sweden border|border with Sweden]] and the municipal boundary eastwards forms part of the international border.

The {{convert|1585|km2|adj=on}} municipality is the 50th largest by area out of the 357 municipalities in Norway. Røyrvik is the 355th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 423 making it the 3rd smallest municipal population in Norway (after [[Modalen Municipality]] and [[Utsira Municipality]]). The municipality's [[population density]] is {{convert|0.3|PD/km2}} and its population has decreased by 15.1% over the previous 10-year period.<ref name="ssb pop">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |title=Table: 06913: Population 1 January and population changes during the calendar year (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/06913/ |language=Norwegian}}</ref><ref name="ssb area">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |title=09280: Area of land and fresh water (km²) (M) |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/statbank/table/09280/ |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

==General information==

The municipality of Røyrvik was established on 1 July 1923 when it was separated from the large [[Grong Municipality]]. Initially, the population was 392. The municipal boundaries have not since changed.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no}}</ref>  On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old [[Nord-Trøndelag]] county to the new [[Trøndelag]] county.

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[parish]]) is named after the old ''[[Røyrvik (village)|Røyrvik]]'' farm (historically: ''Røirviken'') since the first [[Røyrvik Church]] was built there (in 1828). The first element is {{wikt-lang|no|røyr}} which means "[[Arctic char]]". The last element is {{wikt-lang|no|vik}} which means "[[inlet]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_kFFxvxaufcC |title=Norske gaardnavne: Nordre Trondhjems amt |date=1903 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=15 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=299 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref>

On 13 June 2014, the national government approved a resolution to add a co-equal, official [[Southern Sami language]] name for the municipality: {{lang|sma|Raarvihke}}.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-06-13 |title=Fastsetting av samisk navn på Røyrvik kommune, Nord-Trøndelag |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/2014-06-13-757?q=Raarvihken%20tj%C3%AFelte |access-date=2023-11-21 |publisher=LovData.no |language=no}}</ref> The spelling of the Sami language name changes depending on how it is used. It is called {{lang|sma|Raarvihke}} when it is spelled alone, but it is {{lang|sma|Raarvihken tjïelte}} when using the Sami language equivalent to "Røyrvik Municipality".<ref name="sami name">{{Cite web |title=Stadnamn og rettskriving |url=https://www.kartverket.no/til-lands/stadnamn/stadnamn-og-offisielle-sprak-i-noreg |access-date=2023-11-21 |publisher=[[Kartverket]] |language=no}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 13 December 1985. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], a [[cross crosslet]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått et korset sølv kors}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[cross crosslet]]. The charge 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. This design is a common decoration on the [[pottery]], hand-made articles, and traditional pewter embroidery found in the area. These objects were made by the ancestors of the [[Sami people|Southern Sámi people]] presently living in the area. The crosses are a solar symbol indicating the four points of the compass. The arms were designed by Alfhild Vekterli and reworked by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Røyrvik |access-date=2023-02-17 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Røyrvik, Nord-Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-17-39.html |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1985-12-13 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1985-12-13-2322 |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

From 1911 until [[World War I]], [[mining]] explorations were conducted in the Gjersvik areas. The modern Grong Gruber mines in were active in the Joma area from 1972 until 1998. [[Agriculture|Farming]] and [[Reindeer#Reindeer husbandry|reindeer husbandry]] have always been a source of income in the area. The mining buildings now house various small industrial firms.

A few efforts to create new business include [[electronics]] assembly and electronic document management. A small alpine [[ski resort]] ''(Skisenteret)'' was started in 1986.
