Nordmøre

'North-Møre') is a traditional district in the Norwegian county of Møre og Romsdal.

The 5,426-square-kilometre (2,095 sq mi) area comprises the northern third of the county including the municipalities of Kristiansund, Averøy, Tingvoll, Surnadal, Aure, Hustadvika (eastern part), Sunndal, Gjemnes, and Smøla.

Of these municipalities, three are located (mainly) on islands: Kristiansund, Averøy, and Smøla and the rest lie on the coast (including between, adjacent to, or at the end of, fjords): Tingvoll, Surnadal, Aure, Hustadvika, Sunndal, and Gjemnes; no municipalities are completely landlocked.

In the early Viking Age, before Harald Fairhair, Nordmøre was a petty kingdom whose ruler was known as the Mørejarl (literally: "Møre-Earl").
