Ságat is a Sámi newspaper written in Norwegian that is published in Leavdnja in Porsanger Municipality, Finnmark county, Norway.
History and profile Ságat was founded in Vadsø in 1957 and moved to Leavdnja in 1981, where it still is based today. It maintains offices and reporters in Deatnu, Kárášjohka, Evenášši, Máttá-Várjjat, and Áltá, Norway.
