Tjoflot is a village in the municipality of Ullensvang[2] in Norway's Hardanger district, in Vestland county.

Tjoflot lies next to the sea on the Oksen Peninsula, with Hardanger Fjord in front of the village to the southwest and Mount Oksen (1,241 meters or 4,072 feet) rising behind it.

[4] The origin of the village name Tjoflot, as the toponym is written today, is uncertain.

Descendants from Ytrabødn (also known as Garen or Erlingsgarden),[4] the main farm in the settlement, usually write their surname as Tjoflot or Tjoflaat.

Genealogical records show that the toponym was previously spelled Þiodaflar in 1378, Thiodhaflar in 1427, Tiodaaflaa in 1463, Tyofflo in 1521, and Thioflodt in 1667.
