Venset is a village in the municipality of Fauske in Nordland county, Norway.
Venset lies on the north shore of Skjerstad Fjord about 17 kilometers (11 mi) west of Fauske. Norwegian County Road 530 passes through the village. The route was formerly part of Norwegian National Road 80 to Bodø until the Røvik Tunnel came into service in 2011.
In 1858, the farmer Mons Petter brought the ore that he had found in Sulitjelma to Venset, where it was examined by the merchant Bernhard Koch. This led to the establishment of Sulitjelma Mines (Norwegian: Sulitjelma gruber), which began operations in 1891.
