Hunnselva is a river in Innlandet and Akershus counties in Norway. The long river is located mostly in Innlandet county, but the headwaters are actually just over the border in Akershus county. The river generally flows north and it runs through the large lake Einavatnet as it passes through Hurdal Municipality, Vestre Toten Municipality, and Gjøvik Municipality.

The mouth of the river is in the town of Gjøvik where it empties into the large lake Mjøsa. The main part of the river is about long and it runs from the Einavatnet lake to the town of Gjøvik. Along the course, the river passes through the villages of Eina, Reinsvoll, Raufoss, and Hunndalen. At the town of Gjøvik, the river divides the town with the Nordbyen neighborhood on the north side and the Sørbyen neighborhood to the south. Hunnselva gets its water from bogs and small forest ponds in the west and calcareous streams on the east, meaning the water is rich with nutrients. Its watershed extends from Lynga in the south to Gjøvik and Vardal in the north.
