The Pathfinder (Sami: Ofelaš; Norwegian: Veiviseren) is a 1987 Norwegian film, directed by Nils Gaup.

It was the first full-length film in Sami, and it was a candidate for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1988. It was written and directed by Nils Gaup. Nils-Aslak Valkeapää played one of the parts as well as writing the music to the film, together with Kjetil Bjerkestrand and Marius Müller.

In Finnmark around the year 1000, young Aigin comes from hunting to find his family massacred by the Chuds. He flees to the place where he can find friends and relatives, and is chased by the Chuds. Instead of car chases, The Pathfinder shows ski chases on wide white hills.
