The Sandavágur stone (FR 2 M) is a runestone that was discovered in the town of Sandavágur on the Faroe Islands in 1917. The stone can today be seen in the Sandavágur Church.
The inscription speaks of Þorkell, a man from Rogaland, Norway who claims to have lived on that place first. He is presumably one of the first settlers, if not the very first one, in the Sandavágur area. In both runes and language the Sandavágur stone corresponds to what is known from Rogaland around the 13th century.
