Skipsfjorden or Skipfjorden is an inlet of water on Vanna island. It is part of the Fugløyfjorden in Karlsøy municipality in Troms. The inlet stretches 6 km south to Skipsfjord at the bottom of the fjord.
The mouth of the fjord stretches from Kuhammaren on the west to Skotallneset on the east. There are some farms in the inner part of the bay, but none of these has road access to the rest of the island. One of these farms is Røyrnes just west of Skipsfjord. The west side of the bay is especially high and steep, Kvalkjeften rising to 609 meters above sea level.
