Hordaland County Municipality (Norwegian: Hordaland fylkeskommune) was the regional governing administration of the old Hordaland county in Norway. The county municipality was established in its most recent form on 1 January 1976 when the law was changed to allow elected county councils in Norway. The county municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020, when Hordaland was merged with the neighboring Sogn og Fjordane county, creating the new Vestland county which is led by the Vestland County Municipality.
The main responsibilities of the county municipality included the running of 46 upper secondary schools, with 17,000 pupils. It managed all the county roadways, public transport, dental care, culture, and cultural heritage sites in the county.
