Skagi is the name of the peninsula between Húnaflói and Skagafjörður, which derives its name from Skagi.
There used to be three municipalities in Skagi; two were and , now named Húnabyggð and Skagaströnd, on the western side, which belonged to Austur-Húnavatnssýsla County. The third municipality, on the eastern side, was Skefilsstaðahreppur, which became a part of what is now Skagafjörður County in 1998.
