Voe (Shaetlan pronunciation: [vo] ^ⓘ VOH) is a village in Delting parish on Mainland, Shetland, Scotland. It is one of the three main settlements in Delting.^[1] It is at the junction of the A968 and A970 roads.

The Sail Loft in Voe, a Grade B listed building, was once a store for sail fishing boats' gear, later a knitwear workshop, and then a camping böd run by the Shetland Amenities Trust. The böd closed in 2019. In 2026 it was sold to a community group with support from the Scottish Land Fund.^[2]

The Second Edition Six inch Ordnance Survey Map of Voe ^[3] illustrates how the village has developed in the last century.
