Strinda is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 160.6-square-kilometre (62.0 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality encompassed the eastern part of what is now Trondheim Municipality south and east of the main city center all the way southeast to the lake Jonsvatnet. Strinda Municipality originally included what is now Malvik Municipality as well. The western part of the municipality was heavily urbanized, while the areas further east and south were more suburban. The administrative centre was actually located in the neighboring city of Trondheim, just across the Nidelva river on the Kjøpmansgata road.
Prior to its dissolution in 1963, the 160.6-square-kilometre (62.0 sq mi) municipality was the 424th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Strinda Municipality was the 6th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 42,531. The municipality's population density was 264.8 inhabitants per square kilometre (686/sq mi) and its population had increased by 49.4% over the previous 10-year period.
