Eidselva is a river in Stad Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It forms the lower part of the Hornindals watercourse and flows from Hornindalsvatnet westward through the Nordfjordeid valley before emptying into Eidsfjorden, an arm of the Nordfjord. The river is known as a salmon river and has status as a national salmon watercourse, giving it special protection against pollution and development harmful to salmon stocks. The Hornindalsvassdraget was also protected against further hydropower development under Norway's first national protection plan for watercourses in 1973.
