Lauvdal is a village in the municipality of Bygland in Agder county, Norway. It's located along the Norwegian National Road 9 on the east side of Byglandsfjorden. The village lies about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of the village of Bygland and about the same distance north of the village of Longerak. The population (2001) was 41 residents. The lake Longerakvatnet is located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) southeast of the village.

The area has yielded numerous historical artifacts, including a silver-tipped spear now exhibited at a museum in Oslo. Lauvdal was once known for substantial cow and pig farming, but today features only two farms.
