Hjelme is a former municipality in Hordaland county, Norway.

It was created by a split from Manger on January 1, 1910. The municipality, which was known as Hjelmen at that time, had a population of 986. On 5 November 1912 the name was changed from Hjelmen to Hjelme by royal resolution.

On 1 January 1964, Hjelme, then with 956 inhabitants, was merged with the majority of Herdla to form the new municipality Øygarden.
