Inner-Vikna (sometimes Indre Vikna) is the largest of the three major islands in the municipality of Vikna in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 99.2-square-kilometre (38.3 sq mi) island is located in the eastern part of the municipality and it includes the village of Rørvik, the administrative centre of Vikna.
