Austre Moland (historic: Østre Moland) is a former municipality in the old Aust-Agder county in Norway. The roughly 72-square-kilometre (28 sq mi) municipality[5] existed from 1838 until 1962 when it was merged with several neighboring municipalities to form the new municipality of Moland. It is now part of the municipality of Arendal in Agder county. The administrative centre was at Brekka where the Austre Moland Church is located.[6]
