Gullesfjorden is a fjord that cuts into the island of Hinnøya in Troms county, Norway. It is located within the municipality of Kvæfjord. A small part in the northwestern part of the fjord lies in Sortland municipality (in Nordland county).
The 35-kilometre (22 mi) long fjord is one of three which branch off of the main Andfjorden on the north side of Hinnøya. The other two branches are the Godfjorden and Kvæfjorden. The Gullesfjorden has a smaller feeder fjord entering from the southwest called Austerfjorden.[1]
