Jarfjorden () is a fjord on Varanger Fjord in Sør-Varanger Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The fjord stretches south to Jarfjordbotn.
The fjord inlet is between Oterneset in the west and Rundskjeret in the east. Just inside the entrance is Litle Jarfjorden almost parallel to Jarfjorden on the east side. There are few human settlements up the fjord, such as Lanabukt on the east side, and further south there are the villages of Storbukt and Tårnet. Here the fjord turns almost ninety degrees to the west into the last section to Jarfjordbotn.
