Grímsnes- og Grafningshreppur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkrimsˌnɛːs ɔːɣ ˈkrapniŋsˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥]) is a municipality in the south-western part of Iceland, in the Southern Region. It was formed in 1998 by the merger of Grímsneshreppur and Grafningshreppur. The main settlement is Sólheimar. The settlement Írafoss og Ljósafoss [ˈiːraˌfɔsː ɔːɣ ˈljouːsaˌfɔsː], which still had 15 inhabitants in 1997, has been abandoned since then.
