Seltjarnarnes is an Icelandic township located within the Greater Reykjavík area. It took on its current political form shortly after the Second World War and was formally created as a township in 1947. It is the smallest Icelandic township by land (2 km²) in the country.

The Independence Party (a right wing party) has had an overall control in the town's council, since proper elections started in 1962. In the last elections, May 2006, the party received 67,2% of the votes and 5 out of 7 members of the council. The mayor is Jónmundur Guðmarsson.
