right|234px|thumb|Stamp FO 512 of Postverk FøroyaIssued: 7 February 2005Artist: [[Eli Smith]] Vatnsoyrar () is a village founded in 1921 in the middle of the Faroese island of Vagar.
Vatnsoyrar, being created in 1921, is one of the youngest settlements in the Faroes. It is the only village in the archipelago that is not on the coast, but instead it is next to Sørvagsvatn, the largest lake on the Faroe Islands. Sørvagsvatn was used by the British Army as a natural airfield for seaplanes during the British occupation of the Faroes in the Second World War, while Vagar's airport was built immediately to the west of the lake.
