Husøy is a populated island in Tønsberg Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The 0.9-square-kilometre (220-acre) island is part of the city of Tønsberg, located just off-shore, but it is not connected to Tønsberg by road. The island is a densely populated residential neighborhood that is also known as Husøy.[1]

The only bridge connection is to the village of Føynland in neighboring Færder Municipality. So a car going from Husøy to Tønsberg must go through another municipality on the way. In the summers, there is a ferry connection from Husøy to Tønsberg.[1]
