Breiðdalsvík (Icelandic pronunciation: ​[ˈpreiðˌtalsˌviːk]) is a fishing town in Iceland, located on a large cove of the same name.

It is part of the former municipality of Breiðdalshreppur in the Eastern Region, and is at the mouth of Breiðdalur, the valley of the river Breiðdalsá. Route 95 branches off Route 1 near Breiðdalsvík and runs through the valley and over Breiðdalsheiði, a heath formed by an eroded volcano, to Egilsstaðir.
