Alstadhaug is a parish in the municipality of Levanger in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The name is derived from the farm of Alstadhaug, located next to the church, which can be traced back to prehistoric times. The farm and church is located on top of a hill overlooking great parts of Levanger and the Trondheimsfjord region, the etymology of Alstadaug is reflected by this, simply meaning a hill from which you can see "all places". It is located northeast of Skogn, south of Neset, Nord-Trøndelag|Neset]], and west of Momarka. It is the location of Alstadhaug Church.
