The Gljúfursárfoss is a waterfall on the coast in the east of Iceland in the town of Vopnafjörður .

The waterfall is located north of Hlíðarvegur (road 917), which is the shortest connection to Egilsstaðir , but is not always easy to drive. The Gljúfursá River used to be dangerous to cross on foot or on horseback . Above the current bridge (1997) there is the former road bridge and ruins of the first bridge there, which was built around 1900.

The Gljúfursá or more precisely the Gljúfursá í Vopnafirði plunges about 45 m down here and flows only about 150 m further into the bay Árvík east of the Drangsnes headland.
