Hamnnes or Havnnes (Norwegian), Gárgu (Northern Sami), or Karkko (Kven) is a village in Nordreisa Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The village is located at the southern tip of the island of Uløya. The village has a very old trading post, and it is the northernmost preserved trading post in Norway that is still operational. The village has approximately fifty residents.
The village is located along the Rotsundet strait, across from the mainland village of Rotsund. The village is only accessible by boat. There is a regular ferry connection that runs between Hamnnes, Rotsund, and Uløybukta (on the north end of the island). On 1 January 1982, the Hamnnes area was transferred from Skjervøy Municipality to Nordreisa Municipality.
