Gøtugjógv, Nordagota and Sydrugota are villages that are located in the Faroe Islands. These areas are located at the end of an inlet which is called 'Gøtuvík'. This is on the east-side of the island of Eysturoy.[1]

A church is present near Gøtugjógv, and inside it has huge stained glass made by the artist Tróndur Patursson from Kirkjubøur. The church turned out to be 2 times more expensive than originally planned.{{fact}

From 1980 until 1989 there was a upper secondary school in Gøtugjógv.
