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

[2] On 1 January 1878, a small area in the western part of Bud Municipality (population: 15) was transferred to Kvernes.

Then again on 1 January 1891, the Bollien farm (population: 15) was transferred from Bud to Kvernes.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee.
