'''Vestmanna''' is a town in the [[Faroe Islands]] on the west of the island of [[Streymoy]]. It was formerly a ferry port, until an undersea tunnel was built from [[Vágar]] to [[Kvívík]] and [[Stykkið]].
A 'Vestmann' was a "[[Westmen|Westman]]", or [[Gaels|Gael]] in [[Old Norse]].<br>
The original name was ''Vestmannahavn'', i.e. "West-men's/Irish-men's harbour".
It is surrounded by the mountains of [[Hægstafjall]] ({{convert|296|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/}}), [[Økslin]] ({{convert|317|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/}}), [[Loysingafjall]] ({{convert|639|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/}}), [[Moskurfjall]] ({{convert|624|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=/}}).
