Frøskeland (Northern Sami: Fruoska) is a settlement in the municipality of Sortland in Nordland county, Norway.

Frøskeland lies on Langøya, at the innermost part of Eidsfjord, on the west side of Vikeid. County Road 820 from Sortland to Bø passes through Frøskeland. County Road 821 to Myre branches off from County Road 820 at Frøskeland and travels north across Frøskelandseid (the Frøskeland Isthmus) to Steinlandsfjord in the municipality of Øksnes. Frøskeland is also the junction for County Road 885, which travels south along the east side of Eidsfjord to Holmstad, Sandnes, and the Hadsel Bridge.

The name Frøskeland is believed to derive from the word frøskja, related to the verb fryse 'freeze'.

The concrete factory Vesterålsbetong AS (formerly Tingvoll Betong AS and SE Betong AS) is located in Frøskeland. Frøskeland had a post office until June 1, 1997.
