Bondhusbrea is a glacier in Kvinnherad Municipality in Vestland county, Norway, an offshoot of the larger Folgefonna glacier and part of Folgefonna National Park. It lies in the Bondhusdalen valley just south of the village of Sunndal near the shore of Maurangsfjorden, extending about 4 kilometers with a vertical span of roughly 1,100 meters between its highest and lowest points. Meltwater from beneath the glacier is channeled through a tunnel to the Mauranger Hydroelectric Power Station, making it economically significant for the region.
