Staulen[1] is an island in Herøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.[2] The 2.6-square-kilometre (1.0 sq mi) island just southwest of the large island of Dønna. The settlements on the island include the villages of Nordstaulen, Sørstaulen, and Sandvikja.[3]

The Åkviksundet (lit. 'Åkvik Strait') lies between the islands of Staulen and Dønna and the Åkviksundet Bridge and Norwegian County Road 828 connect the two islands.[2] The road continues south through Staulen before crossing various smaller islands, including Landvindsøya, Skardsøya, and Kjeøya, before crossing the Hoholmen Bridge on its way to the main island of Nord-Herøy.[2]
