Jósepsdalur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈjouːsɛpsˌtaːlʏr̥]), also Josefsdalur [-sɛfs-], is a small valley, about 2 km long in southwestern direction, and to the east of the volcano Vífilsfell up on Hellisheiði at a distance of about 25 km from Reykjavík within Selvogshreppur municipality. The Bláfjöll mountains surround the U-shaped valley.

The valley is situated next to an old trail over the pass Ölfusskarð from Ölfus, the region in the south of Iceland around Hveragerði, to Reykjavík.
