'Malangen' is a fjord, landscape and former municipality in the county of Troms, Norway.
The area is today divided between the municipalities of Balsfjord, Lenvik and Målselv.
The name Malangen is probably derived from the Norse word mál (bag) and may refer to the baggy shape of the fjord.
The same mál is probably also the origin of the name Målselva, the big river that enters the fjord from the Målselv and Bardu valleys.
