Levanger is a municipality and town in the county of Nord-Trøndelag, Norway.
Levanger is a member of Cittaslow, the Italian initiative for slow towns.
The world's largest paper-producing company, Norske Skog, built its first ever factory in the vicinity of Levanger. This factory is still open today, and it provides 530 jobs at the plant, and an additional 1,900 jobs in transportation and forestry.
Most of the city's commercial area is concentrated around the main street, called Kirkegata (The Church Street). This street runs throughout the city centre, and ends at the E6 at both ends.
A ferry regularly runs between the town and the island of Ytterøy in the Trondheimsfjord.
