Arne Bjørndal (11 February 1882 – 11 January 1965) was a Norwegian hardingfele fiddler, composer and folklorist.

[1] Bjørndal started playing the fiddle as a young boy, and later studied with fiddler Ola Mosafinn,[1][2] while he learned theory by W. Gomnæs, Borghild Holmsen and J. Thorkildsen.

He wrote down thousands of traditional Norwegian folk melodies, which have later been stored at the University of Bergen.

[3] He composed several dance melodies, including "På Ulrikkens topp", and the waltz "Sumarkveld til fjells".

[4] He wrote articles on Myllarguten and Edvard Grieg, and co-wrote the book – og fela ho lét with Brynjulf Alver, published in 1966, after his death.
