The Capital Region (Шаблон:Lang-is Шаблон:IPA-is) is a region in southwestern Iceland that comprises the national capital Reykjavík and six municipalities around it.[1][2] Each municipality has its own elected council.

The region is home to 64% of Iceland's population.
The region contains Iceland's largest urban area by far, Greater Reykjavík (Шаблон:Lang-is), a conurbation that includes parts of six out of seven municipalities of the region (Kjósarhreppur is all rural).
