De Breiðamerkurjökull is een grote gletsjertong van de Vatnajökull in het zuidoosten van IJsland. Aan het einde van de negentiende eeuw reikte de gletsjertong tot aan de zee, tegenwoordig ligt het door afsmelting al ruim 3 kilometer van de kust af. Aan de rand van de gletsjer hebben zich meren gevormd, waaronder Breiðárlón en het bekende Jökulsárlón.
