Åsvær is a small group of islands lying on the Arctic Circle in the municipality of Dønna in Nordland county, Norway. The islands lie on the south side of the Nordåsværfjord, about 15 km south of the island of Lovund and 12 km northwest of the island of Dønna. The Åsvær Lighthouse was built here in 1876. The islands are noted for their herring fishery.
