Øya (or historically Kragerø) is an island in Kragerø Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. The island lies about off the mainland shore of the town of Kragerø. It is connected to the mainland by a road bridge. The town of Kragerø began along the small strait of water between the island and the mainland, and the name of the new town was Kragerø, after the island upon which it was partially located. Today the island is considered part of the centre of the town of Kragerø.
