Finse is a mountain village area on the shore of the lake Finsevatnet in Ulvik municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The village is centered on Finse Station, a railway station on the Bergen Line. The village sits at an elevation of 1,222 metres (4,009 ft) above sea level, making it the highest station on the entire Norwegian railway system.

Finse è sede del centro di ricerche alpine delle università di Oslo e di Bergen. (it)

Finse var platsen där George Lucas i mars 1979 valde att spela scenerna från isplaneten Hoth i Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, eftersom dess kyliga landskap stämde överens och matchade fiktionen som George Lucas önskade, bland annat för glaciärens skull. Finse är också platsen där Anne Holts roman utspelas. (sv)
