Grindavík (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkrɪntaˌviːk]) is a fishing town on the Southern Peninsula of Iceland, not far from the tuya Þorbjörn.
It is one of the few cities with a harbour on this coast. Most of the inhabitants work in the fishing industry. The Blue Lagoon, Grindavík's premier attraction, is located 5 kilometres (ca. 3 mi) from the town centre.
