Brandal is a village in Hareid Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

The village lies about 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) north of the municipal centre of Hareid and about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) northeast of the town of Ulsteinvik on the other side of the island.

[1] Brandal was historically known as the home of seal hunters,[3] which had annual hunting trips to the White Sea from 1898 until 1939, and to West Ice and Newfoundland from 1939 until 1982.

A pioneer in seal hunting was captain and shipowner Peter S. Brandal.

On the grounds of the museum stands the monument Ishavskjerringa, made by Bjørn Tore Skjølsvik and was unveiled on 18 June 2005.
