Jørnfjord is a fjord in the municipality of Bø in Vesterålen, Norway.
The fjord is an arm of Eidsfjord, and the inlet to the ford lies between Straumsnes to the west and Guvåg to the east. The fjord extends 7 kilometers (4.3 mi) north to Verhalsen. The fjord reaches a depth of 67 meters (220 ft) northeast of Auvåg.
