Ham Voe, (HT974388), also known as "Da Voe", is a small inlet on the east coast of the island of Foula, off the West Shetland Mainland.
The voe is home to the ferry service between Foula and Walls. Because of the exposed nature of the harbour the ferry is lifted out of the water in a cradle.
Overlooking the voe is the settlement known as Da Toon o Ham.

The Tib Doig drove from anchor in the voe while sheltering from a gale, and was wrecked on July 26th 1886, as did the North Star which grounded and wrecked on a baa on September 28th 1886, and the vessel Trygg was wrecked at the pier in the voe on March 30th 1978.
