Vestmanna is a town in the Faroe Islands on the west of the island of Streymoy. It was formerly a ferry port, until an undersea tunnel was built from Vágar to Kvívík and Stykkið.

A 'Vestmann' was a "Westman", or Gael in Old Norse.
The original name was "Vestmannahavn", i.e. "West-men's/Irish-men's harbour".

It is surrounded by the mountains of Hægstafjall (convert|296|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/), Økslin (convert|317|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/), Loysingafjall (convert|639|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/), Moskurfjall (convert|624|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/).
