Dýrafjarðargöng (, regionally also , ) is a tunnel in Iceland connecting Arnarfjörður and Dýrafjörður.
The tunnel, that opened on 25 October 2020, is 5.6 km long and shortened the route of Vestfjarðavegur by over 27 km. in the Westfjords and is important in linking north and south parts of the Westfjords. It relieves the mountain pass that is unpaved and closed most of the year.
