Vefsnfjorden is a fjord in the traditional district of Helgeland in Nordland county, Norway. It is about long, reaching a maximum depth of about below sea level. The fjord flows through Alstahaug Municipality, Leirfjord Municipality, and Vefsn Municipality.
The fjord begins at the island of Tjøtta (south of the island of Alsta). The fjord heads northeast to the village of Sundøya at the northern end of Alsta where a small channel connects to the Leirfjorden. At this point, the fjord turns to the southeast as it proceeds inland to the town of Mosjøen where it ends. The outer part of the fjord is also called Sørfjord.
