The 20 longest fjords in Norway
The top 3 according to 14 votes from people: Trondheimsfjorden · Porsangerfjorden · Oslofjorden. (Updated Apr 13, 2025.)
Norway has more than a thousand fjords, but only two are longer than 150 kilometres: the Sognefjord and the Hardangerfjord. Here are the 20 longest according to the Norwegian Mapping Authority, from western Norway to Finnmark, with their county. How long a fjord is depends on where its mouth is placed, so other sources such as Store norske leksikon sometimes give slightly different figures.
