The Battle of the Gulf (Icelandic: Flóabardagi) was a naval battle on 25 June 1244 in Iceland's Húnaflói Bay, during the Age of the Sturlungs civil war.
The conflicting parties were the followers of Þórður kakali Sighvatsson, a member of the Sturlungar family, and those of Kolbeinn ungi Arnórsson.
Þórður's men were from the Westfjords of Iceland, while Kolbeinn's were northerners.
A detailed description of the battle can be found in Sturlunga saga.
