Bardu is a municipality in the county of Troms, Norway.

The largest town and administrative and political capital is Setermoen.

Norway's largest military garrison is located at Setermoen. The military is the municipality's largest employer and more than 1000 young men perform their duty service here each year.

Bardu has over the years produced several internationally renowned Nordic combined performers. The most honoured is Fred Børre Lundberg. The world's most northern zoo, Polar Zoo is located in the municipality.

The Bardu valley and river seen from Istind in the direction of Setermoen

Bardu, although not far from the coast, is known for its cold winters compared to the coastal areas. This is caused by mountains usually blocking the milder, coastal air from reaching the Bardu valley. In summer, however, it is usually warmer than the coastal areas. The largest lake in the county, Altevatnet, is located in the municipality.
