thumb|Borgartún Borgartún () is a street in Reykjavík, Iceland, that in years leading up to the country's economic crisis became the centre of the city's financial district. Borgartún runs east to west, its westernmost point being at the intersection with Snorrabraut and its easternmost point being at the intersection with Laugarnesvegur and Sundlaugavegur.

A 19-story skyscraper, part of the Höfðatorg development, is located at Borgartún. As of 2012, the skyscraper is completed but the rest of the development remains unfinished. The location of the skyscraper has been controversial because it is located opposite a low-density residential street.
