Halsafjord or Halsafjorden (English: Halsa Fjord)[1] [2] is a fjord located between Heim Municipality (in Trøndelag county) and Tingvoll Municipality (in Møre og Romsdal county), Norway. The 15km (09miles) long fjord branches south off the Vinjefjorden and stretches about until it becomes the Trongfjorden off which the Surnadalsfjord later branches.[3]

The European route E39 highway crosses the fjord by a car ferry from Kanestraum in Tingvoll to Halsanaustan in Heim. Investigations are made regarding a bridge over the fjord. The length would be around . Since the depth is around, an advanced solution with a floating tower in the middle has been suggested.[4]
