Hundafoss is a waterfall in southern Iceland, located in the Skaftafell/Vatnajökull National Park. The name 'Hundafoss' means 'Dog Waterfall' in Icelandic, which refers to a local legend where dogs dragged from the farms by the river sometimes fell over the waterfall. It is the highest and first of three waterfalls encountered on the popular hiking trail to Svartifoss in the national park.

It is not recommended to take the direct route to Svartifoss, as there are many more beautiful viewpoints of Hundafoss on the longer route.
