Ibestad is a municipality in the county of Troms, Norway.
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old farm Ibestad (Norse Ívarsstaðir), since the first church was built there. The first element is the genitive case of the male name Ívarr, the last element is staðir 'homestead, farm'.
The coat-of-arms is from modern times (1986) - but the cross is taken from a Middle Age tombstone from the old Ibestad church.
