Bakkagerði () is a coastal hamlet in eastern Iceland. It is a part of the municipality of Múlaþing and situated on the coast of the Borgarfjörður eystri.
== History == Bakkagerði was declared an official trading place in 1894 when Iceland was still a part of Denmark. The present harbour was built in 1943, enlarged in 1974 and improved in 2001. In 2020 Bakkagerði, which was a part of the municipality of Borgarfjarðarhreppur, united with Seyðisfjörður, Djúpivogur and Fljótsdalshérað to form the new community of Múlaþing which is the largest community in Iceland.
