Stabburselva (Kven: Rautusjoki; Northern Sami: Rávttošjohka) is a river in Porsanger Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. The 60-kilometre (37 mi) long river runs through the Stabbursdalen valley which is in the Stabbursdalen National Park which contains the world's most northerly pine forest. The river empties into the Porsangerfjorden about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of Lakselv, along the European route E06 highway.

The Stabburselva river has the reputation of being a good salmon fishing river, along with the nearby rivers Lakselva and Børselva.
