right|thumb|234px|Øravík on Suðuroy, Faroe IslandsStamp FO 468 of the Faroe IslandsArtist: [[Jákup Pauli GregoriussenIssued: 26 January 2004]] Øravík (also spelled Ørðavík, ) is a village on the east coast of the island of Suðuroy in the Faroe Islands.
The village is located in the center of the island on a crossroad where the road to Fámjin goes towards west over the mountains to the west coast. One part of the village is located in the bay of Øravík, the other part is 3 km further north near the ferry port Krambatangi. The northern part of Øravík and the southern part of Trongisvágur have grown together. Øravík is one of the few places in Suðuroy which still has cattle. Besides from that there are other domestic animals like sheep and geese. There is a small harbour in Øravík and some boat houses.
