Dunøysundet is a bay in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. It is located near many other bays such as Nottinghambukta and is located relatively close to Longyearbyen.[1] Most of the islands to the west of it are located within the Dunøyane Bird Sanctuary.

Dunøysundet has a tundra climate, with temperatures rarely exceeding 45 Fahrenheit. It is located well above the Arctic Circle, although it is warmed by sea currents.
