Øksendal is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Øksendalsøra, where Øksendal Church is also located.

[3] The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Øksendalen valley (Old Norse: Usmudalr).

On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Øksendal, removing the definite form ending -en.

[6] The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Øksendal was made up of 13 representatives that were elected to four year terms.
