Gandsfjorden or Gandafjorden is a fjord in Rogaland county, Norway. The 13-kilometre (8.1 mi) long Gandsfjorden is an arm off of the large Boknafjorden. It runs between the mainland and the Stavanger Peninsula, along the shores of the cities of Stavanger and Sandnes, the third largest urban area in Norway. The entire west side of Gandsfjorden is highly developed and urban. The east side of the fjord has many mountains and peaks. In the outer parts of the fjord there are several islands including Uskjo, Hundvåg, Vassøy, and the Øyane islands of Stavanger.
