Övertorneå (Meänkieli name: "Matarengi", Finnish name: "Matarenki") is a town (pop. 2,000) in Norrbotten, Sweden and the seat of Övertorneå Municipality, Norrbotten County.

It is located at the shore of the Torne River, opposite to Ylitornio (Övertorneå is Swedish version of Ylitornio). Until the border between Sweden and Finland was drawn at the Torne River in 1809, the two villages on separate sides on the river were one.
