'''Figgjo'''<ref name="name">{{Cite web |title=Informasjon om stadnamn |url=https://stadnamn.kartverket.no/fakta/122813 |access-date=2026-03-31 |website=Norgeskart |publisher=[Kartverket](/source/Norwegian_Mapping_Authority) |language=no}}</ref> is a [borough](/source/borough) of the [city of Sandnes](/source/Sandnes_(town)) in the west part of the large [Sandnes Municipality](/source/Sandnes_Municipality) in [Rogaland](/source/Rogaland) county, [Norway](/source/Norway). The borough is located in the southern part of the city. It has a population (2016) of 2,213. The borough is mostly rural, but the village of Figgjo lies on the southern edge of the municipality.  About 90% of the population of the borough lives in the village of Figgjo.<ref name="SK">{{Cite web |title=Sandnes i tall |url=https://www.sandnes.kommune.no/Globalmeny/om-kommunen/Om-Sandnes/Sandnes-i-tall/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20141125005725/https://www.sandnes.kommune.no/Globalmeny/om-kommunen/Om-Sandnes/Sandnes-i-tall/ |archive-date=2014-11-25 |access-date=2016-03-30 |publisher=Sandnes Municipality |language=Norwegian}}</ref>

Although it is part of the Sandnes Municipality, [Statistics Norway](/source/Statistics_Norway) considers the village of Figgjo to be a separate urban area (this urban area is not the same as the borough, just one part of it). In recent years, however, Figgjo has grown together with the large village of [Ålgård](/source/%C3%85lg%C3%A5rd), located immediately to the south in the neighboring [Gjesdal Municipality](/source/Gjesdal_Municipality). In 2025, Statistics Norway recorded the Ålgård-Figgjo urban area as having a combined population of 12,164. Figgjo's urban area alone has a population of 2,290.<ref name="ssb">{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |date=2025-10-27 |title=Urban settlements. Population and area, by municipality |url=https://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/folketall/statistikk/tettsteders-befolkning-og-areal}}</ref>

Figgjo is known for the [Figgjo](/source/Figgjo_(company)) factories. Previously, the village had a train station on the now closed [Ålgård Line](/source/%C3%85lg%C3%A5rd_Line).
