Fetlar is one of the North Isles of Shetland, Scotland, with a population of about 100 people. Its main settlement is Haibie on the south coast, home to the Fetlar Interpretative Centre.

The northern part of Fetlar is a RSPB reserve, home to arctic skuas, whimbrels, red-necked phalarope and snowy owls. Another attraction on the island is Brough Lodge, built by Arthur Nicolson in the 1820s.

Ferries sail from Oddsta on Fetlar to Gutcher on Yell and Belmont on Unst.
