Ytterøy is a former municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. Originally, it was a large municipality that encompassed the island of Ytterøya and parts of the mainland to the northwest of the island on the west side of the Trondheimsfjord. By 1964 when it was dissolved, Ytterøy only included the 28 square kilometres (11 sq mi) island of Ytterøya. Since 1964, the island has been part of what is now Levanger Municipality in Trøndelag county. The island is connected to the rest of the municipality by the Levanger–Hokstad Ferry that crosses the Trondheimsfjord. The main church for the municipality was Ytterøy Church.
Prior to its dissolution in 1964, the 27.8-square-kilometre (10.7 sq mi) municipality was the 617th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Ytterøy Municipality was the 646th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 803. The municipality's population density was 28.9 inhabitants per square kilometre (75/sq mi) and its population had increased by 7.9% over the previous 10-year period.
