Samnangerfjorden is a fjord in Hordaland county, Norway. The 22-kilometre (14 mi) long fjord is located in the municipalities of Fusa and Samnanger. The head of the fjord is located in Samnanger, surrounded by the villages of Årland, Haga, and Tysse. The fjord flows to the southwest from there and eventually flows into the Fusafjorden (which later joins the large Bjørnafjorden). The fjord forms the southern boundary of the Bergen Peninsula.[1][2]
