The Kirkjubøur stone (FR 1) is a runestone found in the Saint Olav's church in Kirkjubøur, Faroe Islands. It was discovered in 1832 and is dated to the Viking Age. Some state that it more specifically dates to the 9th century (probably about 865AD) and others that it dates from year 1000 CE. Today it is housed at the Faroese National Museum (Føroya Fornminnissavn) in Tórshavn together with other Faroese runestones.
