Halsafjord or Halsafjorden (English: Halsa Fjord)[1][2] is a fjord located between Halsa Municipality and Tingvoll Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) long fjord branches south off the Vinjefjorden and stretches about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) until it becomes the Trongfjorden off which the Surnadalsfjord later branches.[3]

The European route E39 highway crosses the fjord by a car ferry from Kanestraum in Tingvoll to Halsanaustan in Halsa. Investigations are made regarding a bridge over the fjord. The length would be around 2-3 kilometres. Since the depth is around 490 meters, an advanced solution with a floating tower in the middle is suggested.[4]
