Tautra is an island in the municipality of Frosta, Norway. It is located in the Trondheimsfjorden, just north of Trondheim itself.

Here can be found the remains of Tuterø Abbey, a Cistercian monastery, established in 1207 and dissolved in the Reformation. In 2003 Queen Sonja laid the corner stone of Tautra Abbey, a new Cistercian nunnery.

A large part of the island and its surrounding water is designated as located protected under the Ramsar Convention due to the rich bird life in the area.
