Haukeli (historically Haukeligrend) is a village in Vinje Municipality in Telemark county, Norway.

Haukeli is where Norwegian National Road 9 and European route E134 meet.

It is the last larger village heading west before going over the mountain pass and entering Western Norway.

Haukelifjell is located about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) to the west of Haukeli, and it is a skiing destination in wintertime.

Development started in 1957 with the construction of the Haukeli Power Station and was finished in 1979 when the system was all completed.
