Austurvöllur is a public square in Reykjavík, Iceland. The square is a popular gathering place for the citizens of Reykjavík, and especially during good weather due to the prevalence of cafés on Vallarstræti and Pósthússtræti. It has also been a focal point of protests, as it is near the Parliament of Iceland.
The square contains a large statue of Jón Sigurðsson, a leader of Iceland's independence movement.
Austurvöllur is surrounded by Vallarstræti, Pósthússtræti, Kirkjustræti and Thorvaldsensstræti. The last of these is named after Bertel Thorvaldsen, a statue of whom was, for a long time, present in the centre of Austurvöllur, now occupied by a statue of Jón Sigurðsson.
