Skånevikfjorden is a fjord in Norway. The 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) long fjord runs through Etne and Kvinnherad municipalities in Hordaland county and in Vindafjord municipality in Rogaland county.[1] The fjord is fed by several smaller fjords such as the Åkrafjorden, Etnefjorden, and Matersfjorden and it flows to the southwest into the main Hardangerfjorden. Some villages along the fjord include Utåker and Skånevik. The islands of Halsnøya, Fjelbergøya, and Borgundøya lie on the northwestern side of the fjord.
