Bud is a fishing village (and former municipality) in Fræna Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county in western Norway. The village is located on the Romsdal peninsula along the Atlanterhavsveien, west of the village of Hustad, north of the village of Tornes, and east of the Bjørnsund islands. The 0.69-square-kilometre (170-acre) village has a population (2013) of 760. This gives it a population density of 1,101 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,850/sq mi).
Bud Municipality existed from 1838 until 1964 when it was merged into Fræna Municipality. The old municipality encompassed the northern part of the present-day Fræna Municipality. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Bud where Bud Church is still located.
Due to a good natural harbor and rich fisheries, Bud grew to become the largest village between the towns of Trondheim and Bergen during the Middle Ages. At the death of King Frederick I in 1533, it was the site of the last independent Norwegian Privy Council, organized by Olav Engelbrektsson, Archbishop of Nidaros. The meeting led to a failed attempt to break away from the Kalmar Union and King Christian III, and claim Norway's independence by rejecting the Protestant Reformation. The council was the last of its kind in Norway for 270 years.
