Storå (Norwegian) or Jågåsijdda (Lule Sami)[2] is a village in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of the village of Kjøpsvik, on the opposite side of the Tysfjorden. The village population has decreased significantly in the last 20 years, so now there are only a few residents living in Storå. The local economy consists of agriculture and fishing. There are ferry connections from here to the villages of Kjøpsvik and Drag.
