Sogn og Fjordane County Municipality (Norwegian: Sogn og Fjordane fylkeskommune) was the regional governing administration of the old Sogn og Fjordane county in Norway. The county municipality was established in its current form on 1 January 1976 when the law was changed to allow elected county councils in Norway. The county municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020, when Sogn og Fjordane was merged with the neighboring Hordaland county, creating the new Vestland county which is led by the Vestland County Municipality.
The main responsibilities of the county municipality included the running of 12 upper secondary schools with 4,500 pupils.[1] It also administrates the county roadways, public transport, dental care, culture, and cultural heritage.[2]
