Dalane is a traditional district in the southwestern part of Norway, consisting of the municipalities of Lund, Sokndal, Eigersund, and Bjerkreim.

[1] Dalane has a distinctive hilly, rugged, often treeless, bare, rocky land.

The rocky soil is very thin and is of poor quality compared to the fertile farmland in Jæren.

The elevation of the land is low near the sea, while in the northern areas the mountains can reach heights of up to 900 metres (3,000 ft).

[1] The largest urban areas in Dalane are the town of Egersund and the villages of Moi in Lund, Hauge in Sokndal, and Vikeså in Bjerkreim.
