Hellfjorden is a 6.5 km long fjord on the north side of Eidsfjorden on Langøya in Vesterålen in Nordland . The border between the municipalities Bo and Sortland is in the middle of the bay.

The bay has an inlet between the headland Oksneset next to Guvåg in the west and the peninsula Hellfjordklubben to the east. In the outer part of the fjord islands Storøya, Ramnøya, Torskøya and Slåttøya middle of the bay. Further up is the islands Rein Eye and Teistøya. Vestpolløya is a peninsula almost at the head of the fjord. It extends north-east of the west and east of the peninsula lies fjord Vestpollen.
