Møre og Romsdal [ˈmøːrə ɔ ˈrumsdɑːl] (
listen) (Møre and Romsdal) is a county in the northernmost part of Western Norway. It borders the counties of Sør-Trøndelag, Oppland and Sogn og Fjordane. The county administration is located in the city of Molde, while Ålesund is the largest city. The county is governed by the Møre og Romsdal County Municipality which includes an elected county council and a county mayor.

The name Møre og Romsdal was created in 1936. The first element refers to the districts of Nordmøre and Sunnmøre, and the last element refers to Romsdal. Until 1919, the county was called "Romsdalens amt", and from 1919-1935 "Møre fylke".
