Gibostad is a village on the large island of Senja in Senja Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. Gibostad is a former trading centre, located about 20 km (12 mi) north of the Gisund Bridge. Many of the buildings in the harbour area are about 200 years old. The soil is very fertile and therefore suitable for farming, which is why Senja is also home to an agricultural school at Senja High School. The lake Lysvatnet is located just west of the village.
