Kvikne is a former municipality that was part of the old Hedmark county, Norway. The 1,153-square-kilometre (445 sq mi) municipality of Kvikne existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1966 when it was split between the present-day municipalities of Tynset (in what is now Innlandet county) and Rennebu (in what is now Trøndelag county). The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Kvikne where Kvikne Church is located.[3]
Copper mining and soapstone quarries were historically significant industries in the municipality.[3]
