Norderoog is one of the ten German halligen islands of the North Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea, which is part of the North Sea off the coast of Germany. It is only temporarily inhabited by a bird warden from March to October. The refuge hut at the northeastern end is called Jens Wand Hütte, which is built on stilts to protect it from flooding. A former terp had been washed away. Norderoog was permanently inhabited by a family until 1825, when their house was washed away by a flood. It has been the site of several ecological studies.

Norderoog belongs to the municipality of Hooge.
