Norðdepil Danish: Norddeble) is a town on the east coast of the island of Borðoy in the Norðoyar Region of the Faroe Islands.
Norðdepil was founded in 1866. Its school opened in 1895.
On 18 August 1941, around noon, a German Junkers Ju 88 bomber crashed in heavy fog into the mountainside above the village.
Norðdepil has been connected with the town of Hvannasund on Viðoy to the east by a causeway with a road on top 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 single-lane tunnels have connected Norðdepil with the regional city of Klaksvík.
Immediately bordering Norðdepil to its north is the abandoned settlement of Fossá, of which nothing remains. Fossá was named after some waterfalls.
Further north on the east coast of Borðoy there is a road going from Norðdepil to the abandoned hamlet of Múli.
