Trekanten is a neighbourhood in the city of Kristiansand in Agder county, Norway. It is located in the borough of Vågsbygd and in the district of Slettheia.[1] The neighborhood includes a large commercial area.

It is located around a triangle formed by the junction of three arterial roads within Vågsbygd borough in Slettheia (its name means The Triangle in English).
