Junkerdalen is a valley in Saltdal Municipality in Nordland county, Norway, a side valley of the main Saltdalen valley. It begins at the village of Storjord and stretches southeast toward Graddis and the Swedish border, opening at its start into a narrow gorge called Junkerdalsura where the Junkerdalselva river passes through waterfalls and rapids before joining the Lønselva to form the Saltdalselva. The side valleys of Tjårrisdalen and Skaitidalen branch north from Junkerdalen, and further up the valley the Graddiselva and Skaitielva rivers join to form the Junkerdalselva; the village of Junkerdal lies between Tjårrisdalen and Junkerdalsura.
