Utvik is a village in Stryn Municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The village is located on the southern shore of the Nordfjorden. The village lies about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) southwest of the village of Innvik and about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of the village of Byrkjelo (in Gloppen Municipality).
