Mykland is a former municipality in the old Aust-Agder county in Norway. The 306-square-kilometre (118 sq mi) municipality existed from 1876 until 1967 when it was merged into the neighboring municipality of Froland in what is now Agder county. Mykland included the inland areas between the rivers Tovdalsåna and the Rettåna (a tributary of the river Otra). The administrative centre was the village of Mykland where the Mykland Church is located.[1]
The main roads through the municipality were Norwegian County Road 42 and Norwegian County Road 413.
