Sula ({{IPA|no-NO-03|ˈsʉ̀ːɽɑ|lang|Sula.ogg}}; also called Indre Solundøy {{IPA|no|ˈɪ̂ndrə ˈsûːlʉnœʏ|}}) is an island in Solund Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The {{convert|116|km2|adj=on}} island is the main island of the municipality. The island is located at the mouth of the Sognefjorden on the north side of the Sognesjøen, about {{convert|18|km}} east of Holmebåen, the westernmost point in Norway. The largest village on the island is Hardbakke. The other main village area is Hersvikbygda on the northern part of the island.

The island has a ferry service from the village of Krakhella on the island to the mainland village of Rutledal in Gulen Municipality and also to the village of Losnegard on the neighboring island of Losna, immediately to the east of Sula. Just southwest of Hardbakke, there is a bridge from Sula to the neighboring island of Steinsundøyna to the west. A narrow {{convert|65|m|adj=on}} wide channel separates the two islands.{{cite web|url=http://www.snl.no/Sula/%C3%B8y|title=Sula øy|author=Store norske leksikon|authorlink=Store norske leksikon|language=Norwegian|accessdate=2010-08-12}}
