Stiklestad is a village in Verdal Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located east of the town of Verdalsøra and about southeast of the village of Forbregd/Lein. thumb|Stiklestad in 1848, showing the St Olav memorial erected in 1807 thumb|Reconstructed Longhouse#Europe|Longhouse at the Stiklestad National Culture Centre.
The village is mainly known as the site of the Battle of Stiklestad on 29 July 1030. Stiklestad Church is located in the village and it is assumed to have been erected on the exact spot where King Olaf II Haraldsson fell in the battle. The king was buried in Nidaros (Trondheim), canonised there on 3 August 1031, and later enshrined in Nidaros Cathedral. Following the Lutheran reformation of 1537 the saint's remains were removed and their precise resting-place has been unknown since 1568. The village is currently a Church of Norway parish and the seat of the Stiklestad prosti.
