Ula is a small seaside village in Larvik Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The village is located in the Tjølling area of the municipality. It is located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the south of the village of Hem and about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) to the southeast of the village of Tjøllingvollen.

The 0.28-square-kilometre (69-acre) village had a population (2000) of 228 and a population density of 814 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,110/sq mi). Since 2002, the population and area data for this village area has not been separately tracked by Statistics Norway because the population dropped below 200 people.[1][3]

The village and harbour become busier during summer months, due to an influx of people occupying Ula's many vacation homes and campgrounds.[4][5] A number of protected and preserved 18th-century wooden homes are located along the main beach.
