Leikanger (Urban East Norwegian: [ˈlæ̂ɪkɑŋər] ⓘ) is a former municipality in Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway.

In 1849, the sub-parishes of Vangsnes, Tjugum, and Mundal were transferred into the newly created Balestrand parish (prestegjeld).

On 1 January 1964, the Hella-Eitorn area (population: 31) was transferred from Balestrand back to Leikanger.

Also, the Tingstad area (population: 5) was transferred to neighboring Sogndal municipality.

On 1 January 1992, the sub-parishes of Leikanger lying south of the Sognefjorden, including Feios and Fresvik (total population: 572) were transferred to the municipality of Vik.

The charge has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used.

The apple tree branch is a symbol for the many orchards in the municipality and thus for the local economy.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Leikanger was made up of 17 representatives that were elected to four year terms.

It is bordered on the north and east by the municipality of Sogndal, on the west by Balestrand, and on the south (across the Sognefjorden) by Vik.
