Fluberg is a village in Søndre Land Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The village is located near the north end of the Randsfjorden, about north of the village of Hov and about to the southeast of the village of Dokka. The village was the administrative centre of the old Fluberg Municipality which existed from 1914 until 1962.
==History== ===Name=== The village (originally the parish) was named after the old Fluberg farm (), since the first Fluberg Church was built there. The first element seems to be the genitive case of an old river name Fluga, and the last element is which means "mountain". The (hypothetical) river name Fluga could be derived from the word which means "fly" (as in 'the river makes sounds like a fly'), or from the word flug which means "steep side of a mountain".
