Larvik (Urban East Norwegian: [ˈlΙ‘Μ‚rviːk]) is a town and municipality in Vestfold og Telemark county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the city of Larvik.

The city achieved market town status in 1671. Larvik was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838. The city of Stavern, and the rural municipalities of Brunlanes, Hedrum, and TjΓΈlling were forcefully merged into the municipality of Larvik on 1 January 1988. On 1 January 2018, neighboring Lardal was merged into Larvik as part of a nationwide municipal reform. After the merge, Larvik is the largest municipality in Vestfold by area, and the second-most populous municipality in the Vestfold district.

Larvik is known as the hometown of Thor Heyerdahl. It is also home to BΓΈkeskogen, the northernmost beech tree forest in the world. It is also home of Norway's only natural mineral water spring, Farriskilden.[10][11] Farris Bad has been described as one of the best spas in Europe. It has the largest spa department in Scandinavia.

Larvik has a daily ferry connection to Hirtshals, Denmark.
