Håkøya (Norwegian) or Ávká (Northern Sami) is an island in Tromsø Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The 3.69-square-kilometre (1.42 sq mi) island is located in the Sandnessundet strait between the islands Kvaløya and Tromsøya. It is southeast of the village of Eidkjosen on Kvaløya and west of the city of Tromsø on Tromsøya.
The higher elevations on the island are wooded, while residential houses, cabins, and farms are mostly located on the coastal areas. The island is connected with Kvaløya by the 330-metre (1,080 ft) long Håkøybrua. The original bridge was wooden, but the upper part was replaced with steel and concrete in 2004.
