Steinhovden is a village with 119 inhabitants in Kinn Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The village is located along the Høydalsfjorden, about southeast of the village of Nyttingnes and about west of the village of Eikefjord.
The village area is divided into 6 farm areas: Seljeset, Høyvik, Holmesund, Steinhovden, Steinvik and Hopen. The chairman of the area is now trying to get a windmill park built to produce electrical energy for the community. The nearby Skårafjæra area is a popular place for tourists. During the fall hunting season, hunters may go after deer, seal, and whales in the area.
