===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 12 December 1980. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], an eagle head [[Erasure (heraldry)|erased]] [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått et avrevet sølv ørnehode}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is the head of a [[white-tailed eagle]]. The eagle head has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The blue color in the field symbolizes the importance of the sea to the island community. The eagle head was chosen since one of [[Europe]]'s largest colonies of these birds is found on the island of [[Nord-Fugløya]] in the municipality. Furthermore, the eagle symbolizes the importance of [[fishing]] for the municipality. The arms were designed by Hallvard Sandvik.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Karlsøy |access-date=2023-01-27 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Karlsøy, Troms (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-19-36.html |access-date=2023-01-27 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Karlsøy kommune, våpen |url=https://foto.digitalarkivet.no/fotoweb/archives/5003-Kommunev%C3%A5pen/Kart%20og%20tegninger%20og%20segl/he10081205031147.tif.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5003-Kommunev%25C3%25A5pen%2F%3Fq%3Dkarls%25C3%25B8y |access-date=2023-01-24 |website=Digitalarkivet |publisher=Arkivverket |language=no}}</ref>
