Graemsay is one of the Orkney Islands in Scotland with a population of around thirty people. Its main source of employment is crofting.

Attractions on the island include two lighthouses, both built in 1851, remains of two early churches, and birds including oystercatchers, ringed plovers, redshank and curlew.

Ferries sail to the island from Stromness on the Orkney Mainland and Moness on Hoy.
