Klinga is a former municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 352-square-kilometre (136 sq mi) municipality existed from 1891 until its dissolution in 1964.

Other villages in Klinga included Spillum and Klinga where Klinga Church is located.[3]
History
The municipality of Klingen was establisted on 1 January 1891 when the municipality of Namsos herred was divided in two. The northern part became the municipality of Vemundvik (population: 1,387) and the southern part became the municipality of Klingen (population: 1,387). In 1917, the name of the municipality was changed to Klinga.[4]
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring municipalities of Vemundvik (population: 2,040) and Klinga (population: 2,482) plus the parts of Otterøy municipality located north of the Namsenfjorden (population: 1,013) and the Finnangerodden area on the island of Otterøya in Fosnes municipality (population: 116) were all merged with the town of Namsos (population: 5,224) to create a new (much larger) municipality of Namsos with 10,875 residents.[4]
