Terøya (or Terøy) is a little island in Haram Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The population of Terøya (about 200-300 people) is concentrated on the southern and eastern parts of the island. Terøya is connected to the village of Søvik on the mainland by a causeway on the east side. The island of Bjørnøya lies to the west of the island. The two islands are separated by the Bjørnøysundet.^[1]

Terøya is located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the village of Søvik where the Norwegian shipbuilding company Aker Yards is located (since 2008 that company is a part of STX Norway Offshore AS/STX Europe). Terøya was part of the municipality of Borgund until 1965.^[2]
