Fedje is an island municipality in the Nordhordland region of Vestland county, Norway.

In 1910, the northwestern part of Lindås was separated to become the new Austrheim Municipality (which included Fedje).

On 1 January 1947, all of Austrheim located west of the Fedjefjorden (population: 920) was separated to become the new municipality of Fedje.

The meaning here refers to a row of islands or archipelago, separating the inshore waters (now called the Fedjefjorden) from the ocean.

The official blazon is "Azure, two oars argent in bend issuant from the base sinister" (Norwegian: På blå grunn to skrått framveksande sølv årar).

This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a pair of oars aligned diagonally one above the other.

The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.

The wreck of the U-boat was discovered in 2003 lying in 150 metres (490 ft) of water, 2 nmi (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) west of Fedje.

Contained in 1,857 rusting steel bottles in the vessel's keel, the mercury was discovered to be leaking out and currently poses a severe environmental threat.

But due to intensive efforts to clean the coves and beaches, very few traces can be found today.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Fedje is made up of 15 representatives that are elected to four year terms.

The tables below show the current and historical composition of the council by political party.

Swimming is also popular, as there is a beautiful beach located on Fedje, which is to be found in the centre of the island on the shoreline of Lake Husavatnet.

The island is supplied with power, telephone, and internet cables from an underwater cordless router to the mainland.

Fedje is about a 1-hour 40 minute drive (including a 30-minute ferry voyage) from the city of Bergen.
