Dueland is a village in Tysvær municipality, Norway. It was previously located in Skjold municipality, despite that Tysvær was separated from Skjold in 1849. On 1 January 1965 Skjold municipality was dissolved and its territory dispersed between three municipalities. The districts Yrkje, Dueland, and Grinde with 1.133 inhabitants in total were moved to Tysvær.

People with the surname Dueland typically hail from a farm called Dueland in Ølen. Several of its residents through times emigrated to the US; to Nebraska, Illinois and Iowa.[1]
