Todalsøra or Todalen is a village in Surnadal Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The rather isolated village is located at the end of the Todalsfjorden, about south of the villages of Surnadalsøra and Skei (the municipal centre of Surnadal). The village of Ålvund in Sunndal Municipality lies to the west, although there is no direct connections by road between the two villages. Todalen Church is located in this village.[2]

It is located where the river Toåa empties into the Todalsfjorden. Norwegian County Road 671 ends in the village, the only road connecting the village to the rest of Norway. The mountain Vassnebba lies just to the west and the mountains Indre Sula and Ytre Sula lie just to the north..

Leif Halse, a teacher, novelist, short story writer, children's writer, comics writer, and local historian, grew up in Todalen.
