Visa requirements for Icelandic citizens are administrative entry restrictions imposed on citizens of Iceland by the authorities of other states.

As a member state of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Icelandic citizens enjoy freedom of movement to live and work in other EFTA countries in accordance with the EFTA convention. Moreover, by virtue of Iceland's membership of the European Economic Area (EEA), Icelandic citizens also enjoy freedom of movement within all EEA member states. The Citizens' Rights Directive defines the right of free movement for citizens of the EEA, and all EFTA and EU citizens are not only visa-exempt but are legally entitled to enter and reside in each other's countries, solely on the strength of their identity cards.

In order to travel to another country an Icelandic citizen requires a passport, except within the Nordic Passport Union where no identity card is formally required. However, identification such as an Icelandic driving licence is useful. A passport is also not required for holders of the Icelandic identity card for travel to EFTA or EU countries, as well as certain other countries.

As of 2026, Icelandic citizens have visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 179 countries and territories, ranking the Icelandic passport 10th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index.
