Foldereid is a village and a former municipality in the northern part of Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality encompassed the area surrounding the inner part of the Folda fjord, the Innerfolda. The village of Foldereid is located along the fjord in the present-day municipality of Nærøy, just a short distance from the border with Nordland county.[2]
