Kvernufoss () is a waterfall on the Skógá River in the south of Iceland.

==Geography== The waterfall is situated above a deeply recessed black basalt shelf in the Kvernugil canyon along the course of the Kvernuhólsá river, which originates from the meltwater of the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. If the area is free of snow it is possible to walk behind the waterfall and obtain a view down the Kvernugil canyon into which the river falls.
