Vangsnes is a village located in Vik Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It's located on a relatively flat and fertile peninsula that juts out on the south side of the Sognefjorden, roughly at the midpoint of the fjord which is Norway's longest. The village of Balestrand lies about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the northwest (across the fjord) and the villages of Leikanger-Hermansverk lie about 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) straight east (also across the fjord). Vangsnes Church is located in the village.

The village sits along Norwegian National Road 13 and it is connected with the villages of Hella and Dragsviki in Sogndal Municipality, both on the north side of Sognefjorden, through a ferry system operated by Fjord1.
