Innset is a village in Rennebu Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The village is located along the Orkla River about southeast of the village of Berkåk, about southeast of the village of Ulsberg, and about northeast of the village of Kvikne (in neighboring Tynset Municipality). Innset Church is located in the village, just north of the Norwegian National Road 3.
History The parish of Innset (the village and surrounding rural area) was originally an annex to the old Kvikne Municipality (in Hedmark county), but in 1966 it was transferred to Rennebu Municipality (in the old Sør-Trøndelag county) due to the work of the Schei Committee.
Name The parish of Innset was established in 1642. It was named after the old Innset farm () since that was where the Innset Church was built. The first element is the genitive case of the name of the river Inna () and the last element is which means "mountain farm". The meaning of the river name is unknown. Until 1918 the name was written "Inset".
