Larkollen is a village in Moss municipality, Norway. Its population is 1,382.
== About == Larkollen has a coastal landscape with water-washed rocks, coves and small wooded hills, and a cultural landscape just behind the coastal line. The lee side of the islands Sletter, Eldøya, and Kollen south and west of Larkollen was an easily accessible harbor no matter the wind and was also easy to defend. It was the landfall for travel to Christiania from Copenhagen for several centuries. Sometime in the early 19th century the landfall was moved north to Jeløya outside of Moss.
