The Kirkjubøur stone (FR 1) is a runestone found in the Saint Olav's church in Kirkjubøur, Faroe Islands. It was discovered in 1832 and is dated to the Viking Age.[1] Some state that it more specifically dates to the 9th century (probably about 865AD) and others that it dates from year 1000 CE.[2]

Today it is housed at the National Museum of the Faroe Islands (Føroya Fornminnissavn) in Tórshavn together with other Faroese runestones.
