Tranøy or Tranøya is a village and ancient trade centre in the municipality of Hamarøy in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on the end of a peninsula about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) north of the municipal centre, Oppeid. The Tranøy Lighthouse is located west of the village on a small islet connected to the mainland by a pedestrian bridge.

The novelist Knut Hamsun worked as a shop assistant at Tranøy in his younger days.[2]
