'''Toftir''' ({{langx|da|Tofte}}) is a village in [[Nes Municipality]] on the island of [[Eysturoy]], in the [[Faroe Islands]]. It is part of a chain of villages stretching over a distance of 10 kilometers on the east side of [[Skálafjørður]] ([[fjord]]) on Eysturoy island. The highest hill in Toftir, called ''Húkslond'', is 129 meters high, and [[Nes Municipality]] is the only area in the Faroes which has no mountains above 200 meters.

The [[Lake Toftir]] area was the first area in the Faroe Islands to become a [[Nature reserve]] in the 1980s, and in 2006 Nes Municipality, in cooperation with neighbouring [[Runavík]] Municipality, joined a network of local authorities in the [[Nordic countries]] working to halt the [[Biodiversity loss|loss of biodiversity]] in their local areas.<ref>Local contributions to meet the 2010 target to halt the loss of biodiversity, http://www.dirnat.no/content.ap?thisId=500026558.</ref>
