[[File:Spangereid02.svg|thumb|left|Map of the Spangereid area, showing the Spangereid canal]]
The municipality of Spangereid was established on 1 January 1899 when it was separated from the municipality of [[Sør-Audnedal|Sør-Undal]]. The initial population of the new municipality was 1,734. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1963, the Gitlevåg area (population: 103) of Spangereid was transferred to the neighboring municipality of [[Lyngdal]]. On 1 January 1964, Spangereid (population: 899) was merged with [[Sør-Audnedal]] and [[Vigmostad]] to form the new municipality of [[Lindesnes]].<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after a local [[isthmus]] called ''Spangereid'' ({{langx|non|Spangarheið}}) since it connected the mainland to the large [[Lindesnes]] [[headland|peninsula]] and the local [[Spangereid Church]] is located upon it. The first element is {{lang|non|spǫng}} which means "small piece of land". The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|eið}} which means "[[isthmus]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Mt1LAQAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Lister og Mandals amt |date=1912 |publisher=W.

Spangereid is a former municipality that was located in the old Vest-Agder county in Norway. The 63-square-kilometre (24 sq mi) municipality[2] existed from 1889 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality was located in the southwestern part of the present-day municipality of Lindesnes in Agder county. The municipality included the whole Lindesnes peninsula, plus part of the mainland adjacent to the narrow isthmus which connects the peninsula to the mainland. The administrative centre was the village of Høllen where the Spangereid Church is located.[3]

The area is one of Norway's richest archaeological sites. The abundant remnants from the Bronze Age and Viking Age show the Spangereid was a very important place at that time. Spangereid is strategically connected at the Lindesnes peninsula, Norway's southernmost point, where the east coast meets the west coast.
