Finsland is a former municipality in the old Vest-Agder county, Norway. The 118-square-kilometre (46 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The administrative centre was the village of Finsland where Finsland Church is located. The municipality generally encompassed the northern part of the present-day municipality of Kristiansand in what is now Agder county.

The parish of Finsland was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Finsland municipality was dissolved and its lands split between two municipalities. The small area of Finsland near Kleveland bru (population: 34) was transferred to the neighboring Marnardal municipality and the rest of Finsland (population: 797) was merged with the municipality of Greipstad (population: 2,061) and the Eikeland area of Øvrebø (population: 39) to form the new municipality of Songdalen. Prior to the merger, the population of Finsland was 831.^[2]

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.^[4]
