Stöðvarfjörður (; formerly Kirkjuból ) is a village in east Iceland. It sits on the Northern shore of the fjord of the same name, is part of the municipality of Fjarðabyggð and has less than 200 inhabitants.

Stöðvarfjörður is recorded as Stǫðvarfjǫrðr (Old Norse: ) in the Landnámabók as having been settled by Þórhaddur 'The Old' from Trondheim, Norway. Archaeological investigation of the site at the farm Stöð in Stöðvarfjörður has revealed two Viking age longhouses, the older of which was (from C 14 dating) built shortly after the year 800. It is thought that the settlement was a seasonal camp for fishing and hunting, rather than a permanent settlement. The modern village arose later on the North shore of the fjord.

Stöðvarfjörður has a harbour and (since the reclassification of Route 96 (Suðurfjarðarvegur) in November 2017) lies on Route 1, at the foot of Hellufjall (859m). Most of the village lies on or close to the main street, Fjarðarbraut

Employment was once predominantly found in fishing, though now it is largely textile based. Most of the young people have left, thus the community youth hall has been closed due to disuse. The town's formerly disused 2800m2 fish factory is currently being transformed into the HERE Creative Centre, which houses workshops for ceramics, wood and metal, art studio spaces, and a recording studio. The centre also hosts live music events, exhibitions, and visiting artists, providing a cultural hub for the town. There is also an internet café / general store (Brekkan , formerly called Svarti Folinn), an outdoor swimming pool, self service petrol station, ATM, bus stop and other services.

Stöðvarfjarðarkirkja, a Protestant church dating from 1925, is one of the most prominent buildings. It is no longer used as a church. The building was transformed into café and offers accommodation for tourists.

Footballer Ívar Ingimarsson is the best known former inhabitant of the town. His footballing career started at local youth club Súlan, but he is best known for his spell at Reading in England where he played 281 games, 72 of which were in the Premier League.
