thumb|right|280px|Hellissandur at Snæfellsnes Peninsula Hellissandur () is a village and part of the Snæfellsbær municipality at the northwestern tip of Snæfellsnes peninsula in western Iceland.
Once an important fishing post, the village has recently experienced growth in tourism. The maritime museum has examples of the turf roof houses once common across Iceland, as well as marine engines and Iceland's oldest rowing boat (1826). According to the 2024 census, Hellissandur and nearby Rif have 474 inhabitants. Hellissandur is one of the first and oldest fishing villages in Iceland and is traced back to the 16th century.
