Miklibær is a church site and parsonage in Blönduhlíð, Skagafjörður, Iceland. Its church is first recorded in the Sturlunga Saga in 1234. The site was involved in events of the Age of the Sturlungs, including the Battle of Örlygsstaðir, when members of Sturla Sighvatsson's family sought sanctuary there. The present church was built in 1973 after an earlier church burned down, using plans by master builder Jörundur Pálsson.
