Tangwick is a small settlement on the south side of Esha Ness, Northmavine, in the northwest Mainland of Shetland, overlooking the small bay of Tang Wick.

A 17th century Haa which was built for the Cheyne family has been restored and now houses the Tangwick Haa Museum. Near to the museum is a restored water mill.
