Telemark County Municipality (Norwegian: Telemark fylkeskommune) is the regional governing administration of Telemark county in Norway. The county municipality was established in its current form on 1 January 1976 when the law was changed to allow elected county councils in Norway. The county municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020, when Telemark was merged with the neighboring Vestfold county, creating the new Vestfold og Telemark county which is led by the Vestfold og Telemark County Municipality. In 2024, the merger was undone and Telemark county was re-established. The administration is located in Skien. The county municipality has around 1,544 employees, and in 2007, a revenue of 1,508 million kr.
