Faray ( locally also Fara ) is a small island in the northern part of the Orkney archipelago.

Together with the northern island of Holm of Faray it marks the highest point of the land bridge between the islands of Westray Eday and how they still existed in the Neolithic period.

Faray is uninhabited since about 1936. Both islands are seasonal but used as a sheep pasture because of the good grazing lands today.

Several smaller ground monuments and ruins of cottages testify to the former settlement.
