Gaukur Úlfarsson (born 11 September 1973) is an Icelandic film director.[1][2]

Gaukur began his career directing advertisements and music videos.[1] In the 2003 Edda Awards, he won the Music Video of the Year (Tónlistarmyndband ársins) for Mess It Up by Quarashi.[3]

Gaukur directed and wrote the TV Series Sjáumst með Silvíu Nótt from 2005 with the alter-ego talk show host Silvía Night.[1] Gaukur also directed the series Djók í Reykjavík from 2018 with Dóri DNA.[4]

In 2010, Gaukur directed the documentary Gnarr, which followed the political campaign of comedian Jón Gnarr to become the mayor of Reykjavík.[5][6] The film was nominated for awards at CPH:DOX, the Edda Awards and the Zurich Film Festival.[7]

In 2019, Gaukur co-directed the horror film Thirst (Þorsti), which won two awards at Screamfest Horror Film Festival.[8]

In a blog post in 2008, Gaukur accused politician Ómar R. Valdimarsson of being a racist. Ómar sued Gaukur for defamation, demanding 2,000,000 kr (US$16,000) in damages, but Gaukur was ultimately acquitted by the Supreme Court.[9]
