Hrunamannahreppur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈr̥ʏːnaˌmanːaˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥] ^ⓘ) is a municipality located in Iceland. Its major settlement is Flúðir.

The district abuts the Highlands, so that farmers' livestock occasionally strays there.^[1]

Hrunamannahreppur and other parts of southwest Iceland were among the first where biting midges (Ceratopogonidae) were detected after their first appearance in Iceland in 2015.^[2]
