Lavik og Brekke is a former municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway.

It was created in 1861 as a merger between the municipalities Lavik and Brekke, which were located on the northern and southern side of the Sognefjord respectively. Before the merger Lavik had 926 inhabitants and Brekke 898, giving the new municipality a population of 1.824.

On 1 January 1875 a part of Klævold with 90 inhabitants was moved to Lavik og Brekke.

On 1 January 1905 the municipality was split, leaving Lavik and Brekke as separate municipalities again. Before the split Lavik og Brekke had a population of 2.164. Both Lavik and Brekke were later incorporated into other municipalities.
