The Jökulfirðir (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈjœːkʏlˌfɪrðɪr̥] , "glacier fjords") form a system of five fjords in Westfjords, Iceland, situated north of Ísafjarðardjúp and south of the Hornstrandir peninsula. They are named for Drangajökull, a glacier situated to the southeast of the fjords.

The area surrounding the fjords used to be permanently inhabited until the 1960s, but is now occupied only seasonally, as a summer resort. The fjords cannot be reached by road, but are accessible by boat from Ísafjörður.

The individual five fjords are:

• Hesteyrarfjörður [ˈhɛstˌeiːrarˌfjœrðʏr̥]
• Veiðileysufjörður [ˈveiːðɪˌleiːsʏˌfjœrðʏr̥]
• Lónafjörður [ˈlouːnaˌfjœrðʏr̥]
• Hrafnsfjörður [ˈr̥apn̥sˌfjœrðʏr̥, ˈr̥afs-]
• Leirufjörður [ˈleiːrʏˌfjœrðʏr̥]
