Jørnfjord is a fjord in the municipality of Bø in Vesterålen, Norway.

The fjord is an arm of Eidsfjord, and the inlet to the ford lies between Straumsnes to the west and Guvåg to the east.[2] The fjord extends 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) north to Verhalsen. The fjord reaches a depth of 67 meters (220 ft) northeast of Auvåg.[3]

The village of Auvåg lies on the west side of the fjord slightly past the inlet, and the village of Røsnes lies on the opposite shore, to the east. Immediately north of Auvåg there are two bays, Nordvåg and Langfjord. A small fjord arm further into the fjord, to the northeast, is named Kvernfjord. It extends 800 meters (2,600 ft) inland to a village of the same name. The village of Klakksjorda lies on the other side, along an arm of the fjord named Vestfjord.

County Road 913 runs along the entire east side of the fjord.[4]
