Månafossen[1] is a waterfall in Gjesdal Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 92 metre tall waterfall is located along the river Månaåna, about 6 kilometres east of the end of the Frafjorden where the village of Frafjord is located. The waterfall is in a fairly isolated area. There is a parking area nearby with a steep, rough 250 metres hiking trail up a mountainside to see the waterfall. The hike takes about 30 minutes.[2]

Månafossen features prominently as a fictional waterfall located in Japan in the 2020 British science fiction film Archive.[3]
