Årdalstangen is the administrative centre of Årdal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The village is one of the two main population centers in the municipality, along with the village of Øvre Årdal. The 1.18 km2 village has a population (2025) of 1,397 and a population density of 1184 PD/km2.

The village is situated along the end of the Årdalsfjorden, an inner branch off of the great Sognefjord. Årdalstangen is located about 15 km northeast of the old municipal center of Indre Offerdal, and about 4 km east of the Seimsdalen valley. The lake lies to the north of the village, and 12 km to the north at the other end of the lake, lies the large village of Øvre Årdal. One road and two pedestrian bridges cross Hæreidselvi river which runs through the village, flowing from lake Årdalsvatnet into the Årdalsfjord.

Årdalstangen serves as an important transportation hub for the aluminium industry. Norsk Hydro's site for production of coal for anodes and small port at the end of the Årdalsfjord are located here. The village also has a hotel and other tourist accommodations. Årdal Church is located in the village.
