Norðdepil (pronounced [ˈnɔɹːdeːpɪl]; older Danish spelling: Norddeble) is a town on the island of Borðoy in the Norðoyar Region of the Faroes.
Population: 169 (31 December 2002)
Postal Code: FO-730
Municipality: Hvannasunds kommuna

Norðdepil was founded in 1866. Its school opened in 1895. From 1897 to 1912 a whaling station was located in the community, built by Norwegians. The first owners were Andorsen & Neumann.[1]

Norðdepil has been connected with the town of Hvannasund on Viðoy by a road on a dam since 1963. Because the two communities are located directly across from each other on opposite shores, they often act as one community.

Since 1967, two tunnels have connected Norðdepil with the regional city of Klaksvík. On the east coast of Borðoy there is a road to the former populated place Múli.
