Lindås is a municipality in the county of Hordaland, Norway. The parish of Lindaas was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Masfjorden was separated from Lindås on 1 March 1879. Austrheim was separated from Lindås on 1 January 1910. Alversund, and parts of Hamre and Hosanger, were merged with Lindås on 1 January 1964.
The administrative centre is Knarvik, located in the southeast part of the municipality. Other areas of population are Lindås, Seim, Ostereidet, Alversund and Fanebust.
The municipality also has one of the largest oil refineries in northern Europe at its most northern tip. The oil refinery at Mongstad is by far the largest employer.
Ancient settlements of Vikings are found in several places. At Seim there is a tomb of a Viking king of Norway, King Haakon. At Lindås there are stories of monks coming from England and living with the Viking population.

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the farm Lindås (Old Norse Lindiáss), since the first church was built there. The first element is lindi which means "linden (Tilia) wood", the last element is áss which means "mountain ridge". Before 1921 the name was written "Lindaas".
The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 4 May 1979. It shows a canting of a tilia/linden tree.[2]
