Stöng is a reconstructed viking-era Long house or farmstead in Iceland. It is a replica of the building which stood at the site which was buried under volcanic ash in 1104 following the eruption of the volcano Hekla.

The reconstruction was built in 1974 as a part of the national celebrations of the 1100th anniversary of the settlement of Iceland in 874.

Stöng is located in the Þjórsárdalur valley near road 32 in the Árnessýsla county.
