The '''Vallavik Tunnel''' ({{langx|no|Vallaviktunnelen}}) is a [[road tunnel]] in [[Vestland]] county, [[Norway]]. The tunnel begins on the north edge of the village of [[Eide, Granvin|Eide]] in [[Voss Municipality]] and runs to the southeast, ending at the small farm of Vallaviki in [[Ulvik Municipality]]. The tunnel is part of [[Norwegian National Road 13]]. The {{convert|7510|m|adj=on}} tunnel was originally opened on April 27, 1985.<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.lotsberg.net/data/norway/list.html |chapter=Road Tunnels in Norway > 3 000 m |editor1-last=Merzagora |editor1-first=Eugenio A. |editor2-last=Lotsberg |editor2-first=Gunnar |title=Road Tunnels in Norway |access-date=May 21, 2014}}</ref>

In 2013, a [[roundabout]] and a {{convert|600|m|adj=on}} long branch were added near the southern end of the tunnel to connect with the newly constructed [[Hardanger Bridge]]. The branch passes directly over the older [[Djønno Tunnel]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Fakta: Rv. 7/rv. 13 HARDANGERBRUA |url=https://www.vegvesen.no/_attachment/66274/binary/25993 |publisher=Statens vegvesen |access-date=April 11, 2018 |date=June 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Moglegheitsanalyse for fire område ved Hardangerbrua |date=2010 |publisher=Norconsult |location=Bergen |page=36 |url=http://www.hardanger.com/Dokument/Flytt%20til%20Hardanger/278_Moglegheitsanalyse%20Hardangerbruregionen_NorConsult_2010.pdf |access-date=April 11, 2018}}</ref>
