Hjerkinn is a village in the municipality of Dovre in Innlandet county in Norway. The village is located in the Dovrefjell mountains, about 30 kilometres (18.64 mi) northeast of Dombås and about 25 kilometres (15.53 mi) northwest of the village of Folldal.
The railway station Hjerkinn Station is located on the Dovre Line, at an elevation of 1,017 metres (ca. 3,337 ft) above mean sea level. The European route E6 highway also passes through the village. A small airport also serves the village. Until 1993 there was mining in the village by Folldal Gruver. The Norwegian military also has a camp at Hjerkinn.
The village is named Hjerkinn (Old Norse: Hjarðkinn). The first element is probably the stem form of hjǫrðr which means "herd" or "flock" of cattle or sheep. The last element is kinn which means "steep mountainside". The village of Hjerkinn lies beneath steep mountainsides, and since this place was an important crossroads with roads to Oppdal and Folldal herds were often driven through this area.
