Tennevoll (Norwegian) or Deannja (Northern Sami)[3] is the administrative centre of Lavangen Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The village lies about 50 kilometres (31 mi) straight east of the town of Harstad. Tennevoll is located at the end of the Lavangen fjord, along the river Spansdalselva, which flows through the Spansdalen valley. The 632-metre (2,073 ft) tall mountain Reinbergen sits just to the east of the village.

The 0.44-square-kilometre (110-acre) village has a population (2023) of 290 and a population density of 659 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,710/sq mi).[1] The only school for the municipality is located in Tennevoll, and Lavangen Church is 2 km (1.2 mi) to the north in the village of Soløy.
