Fusa is a village in Fusa municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. The village is located on the eastern shore of the Fusafjorden, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) southwest of the municipal centre of Eikelandsosen. The village of Strandvik lies about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the southeast of Fusa and the village of Osøyro lies about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) straight west (across the fjord). The village was historically the administrative centre of the municipality which is why Fusa Church is located here, but more recently the administration was moved to the larger village of Eikelandsosen.

The large Frank Mohn factory is located in Fusa, just southwest of the village centre. The factory here is the marine division of the corporation, specializing in production of cargo pumping systems, transportable pumping system, and anti-heeling pumping systems.[2]
