Flodday or Flodaigh (Scottish Gaelic), is a currently uninhabited island that lies to the north east of Barra and is one of ten islands in the Sound of Barra, a Site of Community Importance for conservation in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Its name derives from the Old Norse for "flat island".
The island is gneiss with fertile soil. A reef to the north ends in a drying islet, Snagaras.
Flodaigh supported one family until cleared in 1851.
