Old Dyrskartunnel is a road tunnel in Odda municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. The tunnel was built in 1900 and is one of the oldest road tunnels in Norway. Earlier, the main road over the mountains between Haugesund in Vestlandet and Østlandet went through the tunnel. The current European route E134 pass through the newer Haukeli tunnel in a parallel corridor. The Old Dyreskartunnel is located on the slope above the current tunnel.
The oldest of the three former road routes in the area opened in 1886 without the tunnel, but it was commenced shortly thereafter and the tunnel opened in 1900. The tunnel is about 60 feet long, for a large part hewn out of the rock, but with a natural stone arch in the south end. It was built to improve conditions in winter due to heavy snow and high avalanche danger.
