Sandgerði (), also known as Sandgerðisbær (, ), is a town in southwestern Iceland on the Southern Peninsula. It is part of the municipality of Suðurnesjabær, formed in 2018 when it merged with Garður.
Sandgerði began to develop as a fishing village in the second half of the nineteenth century as motorboats replaced row boats in the industry.
