Björn Gunnlaugsson (25 September 1788 – 17 March 1876) was an Icelandic mathematician and cartographer. For the Icelandic Literary Society, he surveyed the country from 1831 to 1843. The results of his work were published in a topographic map of Iceland at a scale of 1:480,000 on four sheets. It was the first complete map of Iceland and, although generally dated to 1844, was not completed until 1848. It was published under the direction of Olaf Nikolas Olsen in Copenhagen. In 1849, a smaller edition on one sheet at a scale of 1:960,000 appeared. For his survey work, Björn received the Order of the Dannebrog in 1846 and the French Légion d'honneur in 1859.

(en) Björn Gunnlaugsson (* 25. September 1788 auf dem Hof Tannstaðir; † 17. März 1876 in Reykjavík) war ein isländischer Kartograf, der die erste vollständige Karte seiner Heimatinsel anfertigte. Björn Gunnlaugsson bereiste im Auftrag der Literarischen Gesellschaft Islands (Hið íslenska bókmenntafélag) von 1831 bis 1843 Island, die Ergebnisse seiner Arbeit wurden als topografische Karte auf vier Blättern mit einem Maßstab von 1:480.000 veröffentlicht. Als Zeitpunkt wird oft 1844 angegeben, wahrscheinlich wurden die Karten aber nicht vor 1848 fertiggestellt. 1849 folgte eine kleinere Ausgabe der Karte mit einem Maßstab von 1:960.000.

(fr) Björn Gunnlaugsson, född 25 september 1788, död 17 mars 1876, var en isländsk matematiker och kartograf. Gunnlaugsson var son till en bonde på norra Island som var känd för sina tekniska anlag. Sonen blev student 1808, kom 1817 till Köpenhamn och tilldelades samma år universitetets guldmedalj för en matematisk avhandling (han fick åter guldmedalj 1820). Han arbetade därefter som assistent hos Heinrich Christian Schumacher vid den geografiska uppmätningen i Holstein. År 1822 blev han vid latinskolan i Bessastaðir och förflyttades 1846 med denna till Reykjavik, där han var överlärare 1851–62. * (sv)
