Målselv is a municipality in Troms county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Moen. Some other villages include Andslimoen, Bardufoss, Alappmoen, Holmen, Fossmoen, and Heggelia. Besides bordering Sweden to the east and the ocean (Malangen fjord) to the west, it borders on the municipalities of Balsfjord, Storfjord, Bardu, Sørreisa, and Lenvik.
Maalselven was established in 1849 when it was separated from the municipality of Lenviken. The initial population of Maalselven was 2,616. In 1891, some parts of the Målsnes area (population: 30) were transferred to neighboring Malangen. On 1 January 1904, an area with 5 inhabitants was transferred from Balsfjord to Maalselven. The spelling of the name was changed to Målselv in 1918. On 1 July 1925, the district of Øverbygd was separated from Målselv to form a new municipality of its own. This left Målselv with 3,531 residents.
