Vemundvik is a former municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 247-square-kilometre (95 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964 (although it was originally much larger in 1838). By 1964, the municipality roughly corresponded to the mainland areas north of the river Namsen in what is now Namsos Municipality in Trøndelag county. From 1838 until about 1942, the administrative centre was the village of Vemundvik where Vemundvik Church is located. After 1941, the municipal offices and administration was headquartered in the town of Namsos (which was technically not part of the municipality).
Prior to its dissolution in 1963, the 239-square-kilometre (92 sq mi) municipality was the 337th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Vemundvik Municipality was the 445th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 1,943. The municipality's population density was 8.1 inhabitants per square kilometre (21/sq mi) and its population had increased by 10.1% over the previous 10-year period.
