The Þorlákshafnarvegur is a main road in the south of Iceland .

It begins at the roundabout of the ring road at Hveragerði and runs for 19 km in a south-south-west direction to the Þorlákshöfn ferry port . After 12 km it flows into the Þrengslavegur , which has the right of way and which ends here. The Þorlákshafnarvegur continues south. From the east flows into Eyrarbakkavegur , which comes from Selfoss and Eyrarbakki . The Þorlákshafnarvegur ends at the roundabout in Þorlákshöfn, where the Suðurstrandarvegur and the Hafnarvegur Þorlákshöfn also converge . The Suðurstrandarvegur runs on the south coast from Reykjanes to Grindavík .

The Þorlákshafnarvegur is paved along its entire length and until 2010 was the most important connection to the Herjólfur ferry to Heimaey . Since then, the Landeyjahöfn has existed with a significantly shorter sea route, but it is threatened with silting up.
