Balestrand is a former municipality in the Norwegian province of Sogn og Fjordane, on the Sognefjord. Balestrand became a popular destination because artists such as Hans Gude, Kjartan Lauritzen, Alfred Heaton Cooper, Hans Dahl and Johannes Flintoe worked there. Their paintings of the landscape around Balestrand inspired many to visit.
The fjord Esefjord flows into the Sognefjord on the east side of Balestrand.
