Hosanger is a former municipality in Hordaland county, Norway.

The parish of Hosanger was established as a municipality January 1, 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt).

The annex of Seim (lying as an exclave of the municipality in the west) was transferred from Hosanger to the new municipality of Alversund January 1, 1885. At that time Hosanger had a population of 3.387.

On 1 January 1867 a district of Voss with 28 inhabitants was moved to Hosanger by Royal resolution. On 1 January 1910 the district of Modalen was separated from Hosanger to create a discrete municipality with 821 inhabitants. The split left Hosanger with 2.524 inhabitants.

On 1 January 1964 the area north of the Osterfjord, with 791 inhabitants, became a part of the enlarged Lindås municipality. The rest of Hosanger, with 1.616 inhabitants, took part in a merger to create the new municipality Osterøy.

The village Hosanger is located on the western shore of the Osterøy, between Lonevåg and Fotlandsvåg.
