The Lindesnes Region (or Mandal Region) is the metropolitan region surrounding the town of Mandal in Southern Norway. The region has no governmental functions, but it encompasses Lindesnes Municipality and Åseral Municipality in Agder county, primarily covering two large river valleys: Mandalen and Audnedalen. Because of this, the area of the old Audnedal Municipality (now part of Lyngdal Municipality) is also sometimes included in this area. The region is Norway's southernmost region and it borders the Kristiansand Region to the east and the Lister Region to the west.
