'''Porsanger Idrettslag''' is a Norwegian multi-sports club from Lakselv, Finnmark. It has sections for association football, team handball, track and field, Nordic skiing, floorball and table tennis.
The club was founded in 2005 as a merger of the multi-sports club Lakselv IL and the football club Porsanger FK. The latter had been founded in 1995, whereas the former was founded in 1922; the club now counts this as the founding year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.porsanger.kommune.no/logokonkurranse.412639-71021.html|title=Logokonkurranse|publisher=Porsanger Municipality|author=Moen, Bente|date=22 December 2006|language=Norwegian|accessdate=1 May 2013}}</ref>
