Barduelva (Norwegian) or Álddesjohka (Northern Sami) (English: Bardu River[1][2]) is a river in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The 70-kilometre (43 mi) long river is located in the municipalities of Bardu and Målselv. The river flows from the lake Altevatnet northwest to the town of Setermoen, then north to the municipal border with Målselv (with the river forming part of the border) before finally emptying into the river Målselva, just outside the village of Bardufoss and the Bardufoss Airport.
