Oksskolten (Norwegian; lit. 'Bulls Head') or Uktsiesnjurhtjien åejjie (Southern Sami) is a mountain in Hemnes Municipality in Nordland County, Norway. At 1,916-metre (6,286 ft) tall, it is the highest point in Nordland county, the highest in Northern Norway, and has Norway's eighth largest primary factor. The mountain lies just south of the lake Gresvatnet in the Okstindan mountain range east of the village of Korgen and north of the lake Røssvatnet.
