The Vojmån is a left tributary of the Ångermanälven in the Swedish province of Västerbotten County .

Vojmån has its origin on the Norwegian border. From there it flows in an easterly direction to Vojmsjön , which it leaves again at its eastern end. It then turns south and finally flows into the Volgsjön at Vilhelmina, through which Ångermanälven flows . The Vojmån has a length including headwaters of 225 km. The catchment area covers 3543 km². Above Vojmsjön, the river system is still largely original. The runoff of Vojmsjön and thus the volume of water in the lower reaches of Vojmån is regulated.
