Bakkafjörður is a small fishing village in North-East Iceland, located in a fjord with the same name.

The village has 72 inhabitants and is the regional service center for Skeggjastaðahreppur district in Northeastern Region.

The area is home to the oldest church in eastern Iceland. The wood structure was built in 1845 by Hóseas Árnason. Permission to view the church must be obtained at Skeggjastaðir, however requests are rarely turned down.
