Fréttablaðið (English: The Newspaper) is the Icelandic newspaper with the largest circulation. Fréttablaðið is in Icelandic and is distributed free of charge to homes in parts of the country.
It is published by the media group 365 prentmiðlar.
Fréttablaðið has been accused of siding politically with the Social Democratic Alliance (Samfylkingin) and favours Icelandic membership of the European Union. However, many of its editors have had ties with the conservative Independence Party (Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn).
