Nordhordland is a traditional district in the western part of Norway. The district consists of the northern portion of the old Hordaland county , north of the city of Bergen. It includes the municipalities Alver, Austrheim, Fedje, Masfjorden, Modalen, Osterøy, and Vaksdal. The district roughly corresponds to the Nordhordland prosti, a Church of Norway deanery and also to the municipalities that fall under the Nordhordland District Court. Historically, the municipality of Gulen to the north was included in the district.
The landscape of Nordhordland is mountainous, but the mountains are not as high as in other areas. The only areas with mountains over 1,000-metre tall are in Vaksdal, Modalen, and Masfjorden. The highest peak in the district is in Modalen: the mountain Runderabben, reaching a height of 1,292 metres above sea level.
