Bøylefoss is a village in Froland Municipality in Agder county, Norway. The village is located along the river Nidelva at the location of the Bøylefoss waterfall.

There is a very small village near the power plant also called Bøylefoss. The nearby village of Bøylestad lies about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) south of Bøylefoss.
