Veiholmen is a fishing village located on a group of tiny islands in the northern part of the municipality of Smøla in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The island is located at the end of a 7-kilometre (4.3 mi) long road over many islands from the island of Smøla.[2]

Its population in 2003 was 325,[3] but since 2004 it is no longer considered an urban settlement by Statistics Norway, and its data is therefore not recorded separately.[4]
