The municipalities of Iceland (in Icelandic Sveitarfélög Íslands) are local administrative units that offer a series of services to their inhabitants, such as schools, garbage collection, services social services, housing, transportation, services for the elderly and disabled, and so on. Iceland's Constitution guarantees its full autonomy.

These municipalities are led by representatives elected every four years. The last local elections were held on May 27, 2006. The number of representatives varies from three in the minors to 15 in the largest of the localities. Most municipalities, except very small ones, contract the services of a manager who may or may not be a member of the Council. These are considered mayors (bæjarstjóri / borgarstjóri) in urban municipalities and “communal managers” (sveitarstjóri) in rural or mixed areas.

The number of municipalities decreased in the mid-20th century. In 1950 there were 229. In 1995 this number had been reduced to 170. Currently there are 79. Their population varies between 50 and 114,800 inhabitants and their surface area from 2 to 8,884 square kilometers. The average population is 3790 inhabitants.
