Bodin is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

Bordering Bodø and Skjerstad, it was subject to various border adjustments between the municipalities. On January 1, 1964 the majority of the municipality Kjerringøy as well as a small part of Sørfold were merged into Bodin.

However, on January 1, 1968, Bodin ceased to exist as a separate entity when it was merged into Bodø. At that point Bodin had a population of 13 323, Bodø had 14 252.
