The Skiptárfoss is a waterfall in Westfjords of Iceland between the municipalities Reykhóladistrict and Vesturbyggð .
The Skiptá brook forms the border between the municipalities, is the outflow from the Skiptárvötn and falls 80 m below the surface. The stream is fed by meltwater and at the end of summer it has little water. Until 2014, people drove over a bridge on the Vestfjarðavegur 
between the waterfall and the mouth of the Kjálkafjörður . The road no longer circles the inner part of the fjord, but leads over a dam and a new bridge.
