Varmahlíð (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈvarmaˌl̥iːθ]) is a small village in Skagafjörður, northern Iceland.[1]

In 2011 around 140 people lived on the eastern slope of the hill for which the town is named (varmur means "warm" and hlíð means "slope"). Miðgarður, a concert hall, can be found at Varmahlíð. One of Iceland's most famous men's choirs, Karlakórinn Heimir, is based there.
