Fager er lien (Fair Is the Hillside) is a Norwegian romantic silent film from 1925 directed by Harry Ivarson[1][2] (his second feature film after his debut with Til sæters in 1924). Ivarson also wrote the screenplay.[2] The film belongs to the national romantic period of the 1920s. The title is a reference to the thirteenth-century Njáls saga.[1]

Before the film was released, six meters of footage showing dancing were edited out. The film is now considered lost.
