Runde North Side Bird Sanctuary is a protected area on the island of Runde, in Herøy Municipality, Møre og Romsdal, Norway. It covers about 33 hectares (82 acres) and was established in 1981 along with three other bird sanctuaries to protect seabirds and their habitat. The four sanctuaries together cover about 2.6 square kilometers.

The sanctuary includes the Skarveura area on the north side of Runde’s bird cliff. In 2013, it was designated a Ramsar wetland site, making it part of the Runde Ramsar Site, a group of wetlands recognized as internationally important.
