Tverrdalsøya is an island in Arendal municipality in Agder county, Norway. The 3.4-square-kilometre (1.3 sq mi) island lies between the Oksefjorden, Eikelandsfjorden, and Kilsundet straits just off the mainland coast at the entrance to the Tvedestrandsfjorden which leads north to the town of Tvedestrand. The island of Flostaøya lies immediately to the south and the island of Borøy lies immediately to the east.
