Fuiay (Gaelic: Fuidheigh) is one of a group of uninhabited islands off the northeast coast of Barra in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.

Fuiay lies at the mouth of North Bay immediately to the west of Flodday and a mile (1.5 km) southwest of Hellisay. The island was inhabited until the middle of the 19th century.
