Rødøy is a municipality in the Norwegian Fylke Nordland . In the Middle Ages , Rødøy was one of three parishes in Helgeland . Later in the Middle Ages, Helgeland was divided in half: Rødøy and Herøy.

The center is on a peninsula surrounded by the Melfjord and Vælansfjord. The rock formation Rødøyløva, which also gave the coat of arms (“A red lion on a silver background”) the motif, is characteristic. The coat of arms was adopted in 1988. This sphinx-like rock formation has always been an important landmark on the shipping route on the coast.
