Nyksund[2] is a coastal fishing village in Øksnes Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

It is located on the northern part of the island of Langøya in the Vesterålen archipelago about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) southeast of the village of Stø (although there is no direct road connection).

Until the late 18th century, the population was scarce, but with the rise of commercial trade, Nyksund became an important centre for hundreds of fishermen coming to exploit the rich cod fisheries nearby.

As bigger vessels and road transportation rendered the port obsolete due to its shallow waters and poor road, Nyksund became an isolated outpost with a dwindling population.

Modern Nyksund boasts a summer population of 30 to 40 people and about a half-dozen hardy souls remain throughout the harsh winters.
