Hamarsfjörður is a fjord in eastern Iceland. It belongs to the Eastfjords.

It lies west of Djúpivogur, is 4 km wide and reaches 6 km inland. The ring road goes around the fjord. Bragðavellir farm is located on Hamarsfjörður. Old Roman copper coins from the 3rd century were found here in 1905 and 1933. These are the oldest coins found in Iceland. It is unknown whether a Roman ship en route to Great Britain ended up here, or whether the Vikings later brought the coins here.
