Noflen is a former municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

By the 13th and 14th centuries a number of monasteries and patrician families owned rights or land in Noflen.

However, in 1528 Bern adopted the new faith of the Protestant Reformation and forcibly secularized monastery lands.
