Lille Kamøya (Northern Sami: Uhca Gáhpesuolu[1]) is a small island in Nordkapp Municipality in Troms og Finnmark county, Norway. It is located just off the eastern coast of the large island of Magerøya. It lies where the Duksfjorden meets the Kamøyfjorden, just to the northwest of the island of Store Kamøya and to the north of the fishing village of Kamøyvær. The island helps to shelter Kamøyvær's harbour from the open sea.[2]
