Nordby is a Danish town, seat of the Fanø Municipality, in the Region of Southern Denmark. The population was 2,629 as of 1 January 2025.[1]
Nordby is on the island of Fanø (part of the Danish Wadden Sea Islands), by the North Sea and not far from the city of Esbjerg.
It is by far the largest town on Fanø. Nordby also has the only ferry from Fanø to the Danish mainland, with a 12-minute ferry to nearby Esbjerg. Many inhabitants in Nordby therefore work in Esbjerg and use the frequent ferry to get to and from work.
