Skarø () is a Danish island south of Funen. The island covers an area of and has 26 inhabitants. It is one of the smallest islands in the South Funen Archipelago.
Skarø was historically located within the Parish of Drejø. Today it is part of Svendborg Municipality within the Region of Southern Denmark. The island can be reached by ferry from Svendborg and Drejø. It is a popular tourist destination and its largest business, Skarø Is, sells ice cream globally.
In 1893, residents of the island put forth a proposal to the Ministry of Culture requesting a funding for the construction of a church and cemetery. The ministry initially approved the request in 1894, but it was not until 1898 that construction began following designs by architect Niels Jacobsen. Skarø church was completed in the spring of 1900. It lies on the southwestern part of the island, less than a kilometer from the village, from which it has uninterrupted views of the sea on three sides.
In 1908, a harbor was constructed on the island and regular ferry service began shortly thereafter.
In 1944, during the German occupation of Denmark, a British Royal Air Force plane crash landed on Skarø while on route to Berlin. Because the island is relatively remote, the residents were able to hide the eight survivors from occupying forces. The island's village is located near its geographic center, from which agricultural plots radiate outwards. It is approximately 3 meters AMSL.
The SkarøFestival is held annually during the first weekend of August, and presents a line up of music performances. It has drawn from 1000 to 1500 visitors to the island since 1994.
