Seiland National Park lies in Alta Municipality and Hammerfest Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. The park includes the majority of the island of Seiland, the second largest island in Finnmark after Sørøya. The park includes two glaciers: Seilandsjøkelen and Nordmannsjøkelen . The highest point in the park is the 1,078-metre tall mountain Seilandstuva. The 316-square-kilometre park was established on 8 December 2006. The 9.6 square kilometres of the water inside the park's area, includes the surrounding sea and many fjords including the Nordefjorden, Sørefjorden, and Flaskefjorden.
The name of the island must be very old, from Proto-Norse *Sai-aujo , and the Northern Sami language name Sievju is probably an old loan and reflection of this form. In Norse times the name was transformed first to *Sæ-ey, and then to just *Sei. The last element land means "land" or "island" is a later addition.
