MORFÍS is a speech and debating contest between gymnasiums in Iceland. Contestants in MORFÍS are known to become celebrities in the Icelandic community. Morfís was founded in 1984 by debating clubs of the schools and Junior Chambers. From 1986 it has been run only by students in the gymnasiums of Iceland.

Many participants in MORFÍS have later on become nationally known, for example in television and at the Icelandic parliament Alþingi.
