Hvannadalshnúkur or Hvannadalshnjúkur (IPA[ˈxwanːatalsˌn̥ʲuːkʏr]) is a peak in the north-western rim of the Öræfajökull volcano in Iceland and the highest point of the island. An official measurement completed in August 2005 established its height as 2,109.6 m (previously set as 2,119 m).

The peak is part of the Skaftafell National Park. The route to the top is a popular climb though numerous and frequently hidden crevasses call for experienced mountain guides.
