Bjørnøya (English: Bear Island) is a populated island in Haram Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is connected to the Norwegian mainland through a man-made causeway. The nearest larger village on the mainland is Søvik. To the east of the Bjørnøya (between Bjørnøya and Søvik) lies the island of Terøya. The two islands are separated by the Bjørnøysundet.
