Bjelland is a village and a former municipality in Vest-Agder county in Norway. It is located in the present-day municipality of Marnardal.
The municipality of Bjelland was created on 1 January 1902 when the old municipality of Bjelland og Grindum was split into Bjelland (population: 907) and Grindheim (population: 909).
On 1 January 1964, the majority of Bjelland (population: 535) was merged with Laudal, Øyslebø, and a small part of Finsland to create the new municipality Marnardal. At the same time, the districts of Ågedal and Midtbø (population: 96) were transferred from Bjelland to Audnedal.[1]
