Halsafjord or Halsafjorden is a fjord located between Halsa Municipality and Tingvoll Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) long fjord branches south off of the Vinjefjorden and stretches about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) until it becomes the Trongfjorden off of which the Surnadalsfjord later branches.[1]

The European route E39 highway crosses the fjord by a car ferry from Kanestraum in Tingvoll to Halsanaustan in Halsa.
