Mosvik is a village and former municipality in the municipality of Inderøy in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is part of the Innherred region. The village of Mosvik is located along Trondheim Fjord in the southern part of Inderøy, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) southwest of the Skarnsund Bridge. The village is also the location of Mosvik Church, the main church for the Mosvik parish. Other villages located near the village of Mosvik include Trongsundet, Framverran, Venneshamn, and Kjerringvik.
Mosvik is located near two of Norway's 12 tallest structures: the Skavlen transmitter television and radio transmitter at 165 metres (541 ft) and the Skarnsund Bridge at 152 metres (499 ft).
Until 1991, the connection from Mosvik to Innherred was only available by a car ferry, at first via Ytterøya to Levanger, but later directly to Inderøy on the Vangshylla–Kjerringvik Ferry route. In 1991, the Skarnsund Bridge on Norwegian County Road 755 was completed, eliminating the need for a ferry.
