Skipanes er én del af en hel kæde af bygder der efterhånden danner en 10 km lang bebyggelse på østsiden af Skálafjørður på Eysturoy.
Bygden blev grundlagt i 1841.
Skipanes betyder ’skibsnes’. Man mener at vikinger havde deres skibe liggende her i det 8. århundrede. Tróndur í Gøtu skal også have haft sine skibe liggende her omkring år 1000. Det er uvist om stedet var beboet den gang.
