Hoffland or Hovland is a village in Ålesund Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The village is located on the western end of the island of Ellingsøya, about 3 km northeast of the town of Ålesund and about 5 km west of the village of Myklebust.
The 0.46 km2 village has a population (2024) of 963 and a population density of 2093 PD/km2. It is located at the entrance to two undersea tunnels. The Ellingsøy Tunnel leads to the city of Ålesund on the nearby island of Nørve and the Valderøy Tunnel leads to the island of Valderøya in neighboring Giske Municipality.
Ole Brunes, a native of Hoffland, was among a group of fishermen of primarily Scandinavian ancestry who in the late 1880s founded the community of Hovland, Minnesota which he named for his Norwegian place of origin. Of similar origin is also the community of Hoffland, Nebraska.
