Eiken is a former municipality in the old Vest-Agder county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1916 until its dissolution in 1963. It was located in the northern half of the present-day municipality of Hægebostad in what is now Agder county. The administrative centre was the village of Eiken where Eiken Church is located. The municipality included the far northern end of the Lyngdalen valley from the lake Lygne to the mountains in the north.
The municipality of Eiken was established on 1 January 1916 when the municipality of Hægebostad was divided into two separate municipalities: Eiken and Hægebostad . During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1963, the two municipalities were reunited and together formed the municipality of Hægebostad. Before the merger the population of Eiken was 784.
