Søre Øyane is a village in the municipality of Os in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located on an archipelago in the Bjørnafjorden, off the southwestern coast of Os, southeast of the larger island of Strøno.

Lepsøy, the northernmost island, is located adjacent to the mainland, which it is connected to by a short bridge. A longer bridge spans the strait between Lepsøy and Sundøy, which in turn is connected to Røtinga and a smaller island, Brattholmen, through Bruarøy.[3]
