Tranøy is a municipality in Troms county, Norway. The municipality is situated on the southern coast of the island Senja. The municipal centre is the village of Vangsvik in the east. Stonglandseidet and Å in the west are other population centers. The now abandoned island of Tranøya, with its 18th century wooden church, used to be the centre of activities. From Tranøybotn it is only a short walk to the Ånderdalen National Park, with varied landscapes within a very limited area, including deep pine forests.
Tranøy was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 1 September 1886, the municipality was divided into three separate municipalities: Tranøy, Dyrøy, and Sørreisa. After this, Tranøy had 1,239 inhabitants.
On 1 January 1964 several changes took place. The mainland areas of Tranøy (population: 382) were transferred to Dyrøy and the Hellemo, Paulsrud, Johnsgård, and Stormo farms (population: 106) were transferred to Lenvik. At the same Time, the parts of Bjarkøy on Senja and Lemmingsvær islands (population: 480) and the Rødsand area of Torsken (population: 160) were both transferred to Tranøy.
