Imslandsjøen or Imsland is a village in Vindafjord municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The village is located on the northern shore of the Vindafjorden, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) southeast of the village of Vikedal and about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) west of the village of Sand in neighboring Suldal municipality.
