LungA Art Festival, LungA Festival or simply LungA, was an annual art and music festival held in Seyðisfjörður, East Iceland from 2000 to 2024. The festival took place in mid-July and was organized as a week of workshops, lectures and other activities, ending with a weekend of exhibitions and concerts.

The festival's name is a contraction of 'Listahátíð ungs fólks á Austurlandi' (Art festival of young people in the East).

In 2013 the festival sparked the creation of the LungA School, an artist-run art school that operates independently of the festival.
