Styrsö is a small island and a locality situated in Göteborg Municipality, Västra Götaland County, Sweden. It had 1,304 inhabitants in 2010.[1]

It lies in the Southern Göteborg Archipelago of Sweden with about 1,400 inhabitants. Regular ferries connect the island to Gothenburg and a bridge links Styrsö with Donsö. The main type of land transport on the island is a three-wheeled moped, called a flakmoped in Swedish. (The locals call it lastmoppe). Regular cars are not allowed on the Island.

On Styrsö there are four small communities with different characters. The oldest is the Village, called "Byn" with the church from 1752, farms and old cultivated land. "Styrsö Tången" (Seaweed) is the traditional fishing village with dense buildings and winding narrow roads. In "Halsvik", the well-ordered seacaptains made their mark on the buildings and "Bratten" got the nice summer guests. Recent years Styrsö Sandvik has become a popular guest harbour for sailors.
