Dingja is a small village in the municipality of Gulen in Sogn og Fjordane county in Western Norway. The village is located along the Sognesjøen, near the mouth of the Sognefjord, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the municipal center of Eivindvik. The lake Dingevatn lies directly to the east of the village.^[1]
