Fimreite is a small village in the municipality of Sogndal in Vestland county, Norway. The village sits on the south side of the mouth of the Sogndalsfjorden, where it empties into the main Sognefjorden. It is located near the end of a peninsula about 22 kilometres (14 mi) southwest of the village of Sogndalsfjøra and about 18 kilometres (11 mi) southwest of the village of Kaupanger. The village of Nornes lies across the Sogndalsfjorden from Fimreite.

Fimreite was the site of the Battle of Fimreite in 1184, a naval battle during the civil war era in Norway.

One set of the Sognefjord Spans crosses the Sognefjorden just west of Fimreite.
