'''Lyngdalen''' is a valley in [[Agder]] county, [[Norway]].  The {{convert|60|km|adj=on}} long valley runs north–south through the municipalities of [[Hægebostad]] and [[Lyngdal]].  The valley follows the river [[Lygna]] from the mountain plateaus in northern Hægebostad to the [[Lyngdalsfjorden]], just south of the town of [[Lyngdal (town)|Lyngdal]].  The villages of [[Kvås]], [[Snartemo]], and [[Tingvatn]] are all located in the valley.  The long, narrow lake [[Lygne]] is also located in the valley.<ref name=snl>{{cite encyclopedia|year=2007|title=Lygna|encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]]|publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget|location=Oslo|editor=Henriksen, Petter|url=http://www.snl.no/Lygna|language=Norwegian|accessdate=17 May 2009}}</ref>
