Leikanger is a municipality in the county of Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. It is located in the traditional district of Sogn. The administrative center is the village of Leikanger, which is also the administrative center of Sogn og Fjordane county. The urban area of Leikanger and Hermansverk has 1,965 inhabitants (2007). This urban area is often called Systrond, which is why a person from Leikanger is often called Systrending.
Leikanger was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). The original municipality was identical to the Leikanger parish (prestegjeld) with the six sub-parishes (sokn) of Leikanger, Fresvik, Rinde (later named Feios), Vangsnes, Tjugum, and Mundal (Mundal was later re-named Fjærland). In 1849, the sub-parishes of Vangsnes, Tjugum, and Mundal were transferred into the newly created Balestrand parish (prestegjeld). The new parish was separated from Leikanger in 1850 and made into a municipality of its own named Balestrand. This split left Leikanger with 2,368 residents.
