Mörður Árnason, an Icelandic journalist and politician, died November 10, 2026, aged 73.
Born in Reykjavík on October 30, 1953, he was a member of the Social Democratic Alliance. His service in the Althing included two periods representing different Reykjavík constituencies.
From 2003 to 2007, he represented Reykjavík Constituency South. After a break in his parliamentary service, he returned in 2010 as the member for Reykjavík Constituency North, serving until 2013. His record in the legislature thus spans two nonconsecutive terms and a change from the South constituency to the North. Árnason’s listed occupations were journalism and politics; his biography identifies him both as a journalist and as a member of the Althing. His party affiliation and parliamentary service were central elements of his public career in Iceland. He was born and served as a representative in Reykjavík, first for its southern constituency and later for its northern one, with his parliamentary service ending in 2013.
