Tranøya is an island in Tranøy Municipality in Troms county, Norway. It is located in the Solbergfjorden, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of the large island of Senja. The 1.18-square-kilometre (0.46 sq mi) island is almost totally uninhabited. There is one farm area on the eastern side of the island. The farm is also the site of the historic Tranøy Church. Today the farm is owned by the local government and used as a retirement and assisted living facility. There is also a small museum on the site.[1]
