Utsira (pronounced [ˈʉ̌ːtˌsiːrɑ]) is the least populous municipality in Norway. The island municipality is located in northwestern Rogaland county, just off the western coast of Norway. Utsira is part of the traditional district of Haugaland.

The municipality consists of the main island of Utsira as well as several small, uninhabited outlying islands. Utsira is located in the North Sea, about 18 kilometres (11 miles) west of the town of Haugesund. All of the 206 residents (as of 2015) live on the main island of Utsira, where the administrative centre and Utsira Church are located.

The 6-square-kilometre (2.3 sq mi) municipality is the 355th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway, making it the second smallest municipality in Norway after the nearby island municipality of Kvitsøy. Utsira is the 356th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 208, making it the smallest municipality in Norway by population, after Modalen Municipality. The municipality's population density is 33 inhabitants per square kilometre (85/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 0.5% over the previous 10-year period.[4][5]
