La lingua faroense, anche detta faringio, feringio, færoico, färingio, feroese o faroese (føroyskt mál, AFI: [ˈføːɹɪst ˈmɔaːl]) è una lingua germanica settentrionale parlata da circa 80.000 persone (di cui 48.000 nelle Fær Øer, 25.000 in Danimarca e 5.000 in Islanda). È una delle tre lingue insulari scandinave derivate dal norreno parlato in Scandinavia all'epoca dei Vichinghi. Le altre due lingue insulari sono l'islandese e l'estinto norn che, si diceva, fosse mutuamente intelligibile con il faroense.
