Hægebostad Tunnel (Norwegian: Hægebostadtunnelen) is the fifth longest railway tunnel in Norway and located between Audnedal Station and Snartemo Station on Sørlandsbanen. It was opened in 1943 when Sørlandsbanen was extended to Moi. The 8.5 km long tunnel covers virtually the entire distance between the stations of Audnedal and Snartemo. The tunnel has a 0.2% horizontal gradient and goes straight except for a curve at the Audnedal side.
