Dale or Dale i Sunnfjord is the administrative centre of the municipality of Fjaler in Vestland county, Norway. The village is located at the mouth of the river Vassdalselva on the southern shore of the Dalsfjorden in the northern part of Fjaler, about 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) northeast of the village of Flekke and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of the village of Bygstad (in Sunnfjord municipality).
The 1.11-square-kilometre (270-acre) village has a population (2019) of 1,186 and a population density of 1,068 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,770/sq mi).
