Elnesvågen is a village and the administrative centre of the municipality of Fræna in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located along the Frænafjorden about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the city of Molde, 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) east of Tornes, and 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northwest of Malmefjorden and Sylte. The 2.08-square-kilometre (510-acre) village has a population (2009) of 2,222.
The area is predominantly an agricultural area, however, there are also several factories including Moxy Engineering (which produces trucks), the Hustadmarmor marble factory (which produces calcium products for European paper producers), and the Tine cheese factory (which is the largest producer of Jarlsberg cheese with exports to the UK, USA, Canada, Germany, and Australia).
The Myrbostad church was built in 1880 in the western part of Elnesvågen. A combined association football-athletics stadium was completed in 1997. The best views of Elnesvågen are from the mountains Heiane/Lågheiane and Gjendemsfjellet. Heiane is most easily accessible from Hauglia, the major residential area in Elnesvågen.
