The German Embassy in Reykjavík is Germany’s diplomatic mission to Iceland. It is located at Laufásvegur 31, 101 Reykjavík, in the Miðborg area, with coordinates 64.1428°N, 21.9372°W.

The current German ambassador to Iceland is Dietrich Becker. The embassy website is German Embassy, Reykjavík.

Since the 1990s, the building has been shared with the British Embassy. In 1968, the British government bought Laufásvegur 31, and the old farmhouse on the site was donated to Reykjavik Museum and moved to the heritage site at Árbæjarsafn. In the 1990s, as both countries redeveloped the building, they agreed to share it. It opened as the first purpose-built co-located British-German chancery on 2 June 1996, in the presence of Malcolm Rifkind, Werner Hoyer, and Halldór Ásgrímsson. A plaque inside notes that this is the first such co-located chancery building in Europe.
