Staulen is an island in the municipality of Herøy in Nordland county, Norway.[2]

To the east lies Åkviksundet (Åkvik Strait),[2] which is crossed by the Åkviksundet Bridge and Norwegian County Road 828[2] from Dønna. The road runs south though Staulen before crossing various smaller islands, including Landvindsøya, Skardsøya, and Kjeøya, before reaching Nord-Herøy.[2] Settlements on the island include the villages of Nordstaulen, Sørstaulen, and Sandvikja.[3]
