Mørsvikbotn or Mørsvik (Norwegian) or Murgos (Lule Sami) is a small village located in the north part of Sørfold Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The village sits at the end of the Mørsvikfjorden arm of the Nordfolda fjord. The European route E6 highway passes through the village. The lakes Mørsvikvatnet and Sildhopvatnet are located northeast of the village. Mørsvikbotn has a school, shops, grocery, Mørsvikbotn Chapel, an aquaculture co-op, and a few camping sites.

The village is centered around the farm Mørsvik at the end of the fjord, known as Mørsvikbotn, so the larger village area is also known as Mørsvikbotn. The local name in the Lule Sami language is Murgos for the farm and village area.
