Hovin is a village in Tinn Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. The village is located just up the hill from the eastern shore of the large lake Tinnsjå. It is located about 22 kilometres (14 mi) south of the village of Tinn Austbygd and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) north of the town of Notodden.

From 1886 until 1964, the village was the administrative centre of the old Hovin Municipality. In 1964, the municipality was dissolved and this area became part of Tinn Municipality. Hovin Church is located in this village.[2]
