Hidle or Sør-Hidle is an island in Strand municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 1.4-square-kilometre (0.54 sq mi) island lies at the southeastern edge of a large archipelago of islands located between the Boknafjorden and the mouth of the Høgsfjorden, just to the northeast of city of Stavanger. The village of Tau lies about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the island. The island of Åmøy lies a short distance to the west of Hidle and the island of Heng lies a short distance to the southeast.[1]

The highest point on the island is the 81-metre (266 ft) tall Kråkeberget. The new Ryfast Tunnel is being constructed under the fjord that surrounds the island, and the tunnel itself will run under the southern part of the island. Due to the length of the tunnel, a large ventilation shaft will be constructed from the tunnel up to the island to provide fresh air inside the tunnel.
