Froðba () is a village located furthest out on the north brink of Trongisvágsfjørður, an inlet on the east coast of the island of Suðuroy in the Faroe Islands.

==History== The village eventually merged with the harbour city of Tvøroyri. Froðba is usually divided into smaller places such as Hamri, Undir Skorum, Støðlunum, Torvheyggur and Bøur. Bøur is typically referred to as "Úti á Bø" the oldest inhabited area in Froðba, Bøur has a small graveyard which used to be the only one in Trongisvágsfjørður. It is no longer in use and Froðba once had a church which was in Bø, but after Froðba merged with the growing nearby town of Tvøroyri, the small church was moved to Tvøroyri. As the population grew, the church was replaced and moved to Sandvík.
