Bjørnør is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county in Norway. The 865-square-kilometre (334 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until 1892 in what was at that time the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway. It encompassed the area of what is now Osen Municipality and part of Åfjord Municipality, much of the western part of the Fosen peninsula in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Roan where Roan Church is located.
Bjørnør Municipality bordered Aafjord Municipality to the south and Nordre Trondhjem county to the north and west. Prior to its dissolution in 1892, the 865-square-kilometre (334 sq mi) municipality had a population of about 4,766.
