This is a list of '''cities and towns in [[Iceland]]'''. Some cities, such as [[Hafnarfjörður]] and [[Akranes]], are also [[Municipalities of Iceland|municipalities]]. These municipalities would share the same name and attributes. However, most recognized municipalities consist of several cities or towns. Therefore, municipalities for which there is no city or town of the same name are not included here. In the case of [[Árborg]], for example, there are three entries: the cities or towns of [[Selfoss (town)|Selfoss]], [[Eyrarbakki]], and [[Stokkseyri]]. There are also a few municipalities in which no cities or towns exist, and are thus not included in the list below.

==List of localities in Iceland==
== List of localities ==
The majority of the functions that are carried out by ''local governments'' actually happen at the municipal level. However, most settlements in Iceland are broken down further into the "locality" level, which are mainly used for information collection and statistical analysis purposes only—essentially, a [[census division]].
The [[government of Iceland]] does not officially distinguish between cities and towns. However, settlements with populations in excess of 1,000 are generally considered to be cities.{{Citation needed|reason=By whom?|date=August 2018}} Cities shaded in pale green in the table are their respective regional capitals. On the contrary hand, all the functions of ''local governmental'' in Iceland are carried out at the municipal level, but for statistical information and census collection purposes only, these are further broken down into the "locality" level, including the settlements listed below, and then the "urban nuclei" level, which comprises cities and towns, which are described as follows:

Map of Iceland

Most municipalities in Iceland include more than one settlement.[1] For example, four localities (Selfoss, Stokkseyri, Eyrarbakki, and Tjarnabyggð) can all be found in the municipality of Árborg.

A number of municipalities only contain a single locality, while there are also a few municipalities in which no localities exist. All localities in Iceland can only be located within a single municipality, i.e. they cannot straddle multiple municipality borders.[2] Some municipalities, such as Hafnarfjörður and Akranes, also share the same name with a locality. However, these localities are not always situated in their namesake municipalities. In those cases, this does not necessarily mean that they there are no other localities included in that particular municipality. Even when they are the only locality there, they do not always encompass the span of that municipality's entire land area.[3]

List of localities

The majority of the functions that are carried out by local governments actually happen at the municipal level. However, most settlements in Iceland are broken down further into the "locality" level, which are mainly used for information collection and statistical analysis purposes only—essentially, a census division.
