Haldórsvík (Danish: Haldersvig), also Haldarsvík, is a village located on the north-east coast of Streymoy in the Sunda Kommuna municipality. In the centre of the village there is a small waterfall.
The stone church in the village is from 1856. It is the only octagonal church on the Faroe Islands. The altarpiece is also distinctive. It represents the Last Supper, with the Apostles' faces replaced by the faces of living public figures from the Faroe Islands.
