Tafjorden is an inner branch of the Norddalsfjorden/Storfjorden in Norddal Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The fjord is located southeast of the village of Sylte, the municipal center of Norddal Municipality. The small village of Tafjord is located at the end of the 12-kilometre long Tafjorden. The only road leading to the rather isolated village of Tafjord goes through the 5,277-metre long Heggur Tunnel plus several other smaller tunnels on the northern shore of the fjord.
When Olaf II of Norway fled up the Storfjorden to escape the forces of Canute the Great, he and his men journeyed up the fjord until he passed through the Norddalsfjorden and reached the Tafjorden. From there they passed north up the Valldalen valley and across the mountains to Lesja on his way to exile in Russia.
