Brattøra is an artificial island in Trondheim, Norway. It is located north of the city centre Midtbyen, west of Nyhavna and south of Trondheimsfjord. In addition to some commercial offices, most of the island is used by Trondheim Central Station and Trondheim Port.

Since the late 1990s there has been an urban renewal program at Brattøra, converting parts of the port to office buildings, including swimming pool Pirbadet and a massive office complex housing among others Reinertsen and the Norwegian School of Management.

Brattøra also houses Pirterminalen, the docks for the high-speed catamaran services to Fosen and Kristiansund as well as the corporate headquarters of Fosen Trafikklag. The Coastal Express and other cruise ships also call at Brattøra.
