Hamnøy or Hamnøya is a small fishing village in Moskenes Municipality in Nordland county (Lofoten Islands). It is located on the eastern side of the island of Moskenesøya, about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) northeast of the village of Reine, along the Vestfjorden. Hamnøy was previously connected to Reine by ferry, but this was replaced by bridges on the European route E10 highway as part of the Lofoten Mainland Connection.
