Oyrareingir is a place in the Faroe Islands on the east coast of Streymoy .

The name Oyrareingir is made up of oyri (flat sandy bay, plural oyrar ) and ong (meadow, plural eingir ), which means "sandy beach meadows ".

Oyrareingir is at the end of the Kollafjørður fjord . Coming from Tórshavn it can be reached through the Kaldbaksbotnur tunnel . At the exit of the tunnel, Oyrareingir is on the left. Signabøur is in the immediate vicinity .

Oyrareingir is so small that it is not shown on most maps.

A modern industrial port was inaugurated here on March 7, 2009.
