Sørvágur () is a village at the landward end of Sørvágsfjørður fjord on the island of Vágar in the Faroe Islands.It is the largest village in Sørvágur Municipality.
Climate Vágar has colder and snowier winters than most places in the archipelago. Lower temperatures combined with higher precipitation are responsible for this, and measurable snow cover can be seen- a rarity in the Faroe Islands, in which snow cover (in areas which regularly experience it) is usually limited to a thin coating. The airport, at which data is recorded, is also located at a higher altitude on the island (84 meters above sea level), which might result in lower temperatures and higher precipitation than lower-lying areas on the island. Frost occurs an average on 62 days of the year,
