Klevset[2][3] is a village in Heim Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It lies on the shore of Skålvik Fjord along County Road 350. The island of Bårsetøya lies just offshore in the fjord.[4]

A small boatyard, J.M. Kleivset Båtbyggeri,[5] formerly operated in Klevset. Among other vessels, it built three smacks for use by priests in the reconstruction of Finnmark after the Second World War.[6][7]

The settlement was attested as Klauset in the 16th century[8][9] and Kleffßett in 1590 (as well as Kleffset in 1667 and Klefset in 1723).[10] The name is probably derived from the Old Norse word kleif which means 'cliff', referring to its location below a steep hill.[10]
