Lysøya is an uninhabited island in Bjørnafjorden Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The island lies in the Lysefjorden, a small branch off the main Bjørnafjorden. The island name was historically spelled Lysøen.
The island is well known as the site of Villa Lysøen, the home of Norwegian violin-virtuoso and composer Ole Bull until his death in 1880. The whole island was owned by Ole Bull and has been passed down through his family until 1974 when it was given to the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Norwegian Monuments. Since 1984, the island and villa have been the Ole Bull Museum Lysøen which is open to the public.
