Re is a former municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The 225-square-kilometre (87 sq mi) municipality existed from 2000 until its dissolution in 2020. The area is now part of Tønsberg Municipality. The administrative centre was the village of Revetal. Other villages in the municipality included Ramnes, Brekkeåsen, Bergsåsen, Gretteåsen, Undrumsdal, Fon, Vivestad.^[5]

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the 225-square-kilometre (87 sq mi) municipality was the 316th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Re had a population of 9,730. The municipality's population density is 43.3 inhabitants per square kilometre (112/sq mi).^[6][7]

The river Aulielva ran through the municipality. The highest point in Re was Snippane with an elevation of 400 m (1,312 ft). Snippane was located along the border with Lardal Municipality, about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of the village of Hof.^[8]

The municipality was established on 1 January 2002 when the two neighboring municipalities of Ramnes and Våle were merged to form one large municipality called Re.^[9]

On 1 January 2020, Re Municipality was dissolved and new borders were drawn for the municipalities of Horten, Tønsberg, and Holmestrand:^[5]

• the 691-decare (171-acre) area that is on the northeast coast Re Municipality, including the island of Langøya, was transferred into Holmestrand Municipality^[10]
• the 128-decare (32-acre) Haugan area was transferred from Horten Municipality to Re^[11]
• the 388-decare (96-acre) Nykirke/Pauliveien area was transferred from Re to Horten Municipality^[11]

• the remaining portions of Re Municipality was merged into Tønsberg Municipality^[12]

In this area a battle took place in 1177, which is the last one mentioned in Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson. Graves and other findings from the Viking Age and even earlier can be found throughout the district.

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.^[18] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Nordre Vestfold District Court and the Agder Court of Appeal.^{[citation needed]}
