{{Short description|Bay in Svalbard, Norway}}
'''Signehamna''' is a bay and natural harbour in [Albert I Land](/source/Albert_I_Land) at [Spitsbergen](/source/Spitsbergen), [Svalbard](/source/Svalbard). It is located at the western side of [Lilliehöökfjorden](/source/Lillieh%C3%B6%C3%B6kfjorden). The bay has a width and length of about one nautical mile. The headland [Gunnarpynten](/source/Gunnarpynten) in the middle of the bay, which separates Signehamna from [Nilspollen](/source/Nilspollen), created a suitable harbour for smaller vessels.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://placenames.npolar.no/stadnamn/Signehamna |title=Signehamna (Svalbard) |publisher=[Norwegian Polar Institute](/source/Norwegian_Polar_Institute) |accessdate=29 June 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Arctic Pilot: Sailing directions Svalbard&ndash;Jan Mayen |year=1988 | volume =7 |publisher=The Norwegian Hydrographic Service and The Norwegian Polar Institute |location=Stavanger |language= |isbn=82-90653-06-9 |page=265 }}</ref>
