Tollerodden, spelt Tolderodden until 1917, is a peninsula located in the bottom of the Larvik fjord and a part of Larvik town located on the south east coast in Norway.
The Larvik fjord is open to the southeast, so Tollerodden was the safest place in Larvik harbour and thus the town thus started at Tollerodden and the near surroundings. As Larvik grew, the commercial harbour was moved further out in the fjord and Tollerodden is kept as it was in the town’s early times.

Tollerodden has become world famous by the naval architect Colin Archer who was born here and had his boatyard here. He became famous for his pilot and rescue boats and the polar ship FRAM.
