Tróndur í Gøtu (Old Norse: Þrándr í Götu (ca. 945 - 1035) was a viking from the Faroe Islands (also "Færey Islands"). He is together with Sigmundur Brestisson the central figure in the Færeyinga Saga. The Saga tells the early history of the Faroe Islands, and the early spread of Christianity to the Faroe Islands.

Chapter 3 of the Saga describes Tróndur as having "a shock head of red hair, and was freckled of face and right grim of look", features which were inherent to Færey-folk, who are said to have descended from Thorstan the Red's daughter.

Tróndur í Gøtu lived on the island of Eysturoy, in his father's home Gøta, which was named for Torbjørn Gøtuskegg's nickname "Gatebeard". Initially Tróndur and Thorlac drew lots to decide who should inherit the estate. After losing, Thorlac, went to live in neighbouring islands with his wife. Chapter 35 of the Saga details that all siblings eventually lived together at Gøta, with their respective children. This same chapter explains that Thorlac had two sons, Sigurd (a strong man with blonde curly hair) and Thord (also called "The Low" for his stoutly yet strong figure); Tróndur's sister had a son known as "Geat the Red".
