Lyefjell is a village in Time municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The village is located in the hills about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the town of Bryne and about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the villages of Mossige and Undheim.

The village is a residential area that was built in the hills so that the flat, agricultural areas could continue to be used for farming. It is just to the south of the mountain Njåfjellet and the village has views of the flat plains of Jæren below.
