Tórsvøllur is a football stadium on the sport site Gundadalur in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. The stadium holds 6,040 people and was built in 1999 to become the country's national stadium and provide a grass surface in the capital Tórshavn on which international football matches could be played. Previously, the Faroe Islands national team played its home matches in the town of Toftir at the Svangaskarð stadium.

In August 2011, floodlights were introduced, these were officially used for the first time at the football match between Faroe Islands and Italy on 2 September 2011.

By the late 2017, the stadium will have completed all stages in a new total renovation, the first since it was built in 1999.
