Regions of Iceland

These regions are not incorporated polities but rather recognized groupings of municipalities.

[2] Since 2014, police and commissioner (sýslumaður) districts have followed the eight region model with the exception that Vestmannaeyjar form a special district and are not part of the South region.

The divisions of Iceland for the purposes of health care and district courts diverge more from the commonly used eight region model.

(2024)[3] Until 1957, the parliamentary constituencies used in Iceland had been based on its counties and market towns.

The reform of constituency borders in 1957 would group these counties and towns together into eight larger areas that form the basis for the modern regional division of Iceland.
