Reykdæla saga ok Víga-Skútu or Reykdæla saga og Víga-Skútu () is one of the sagas of Icelanders. The story takes place in the valley of Reykjadalur in northern Iceland in the second half of the 9th century. The saga consists of two parts. The first part principally features Áskel, father of Viga-Skuta; the second part is about Víga-Skúta and his quarrels with his father-in-law Glúmr Eyjólfsson (Víga-Glúm) after Víga-Skúta marries his daughter and then deserts her.

This saga is the center of debate in relation to the oral origins of the sagas of Icelanders. This is due to its significant use of language that refers to the traditional transmission of this text.[2] Its only extant medieval text witness is the fragmentary late 14th-early 15th Icelandic century manuscript AM 561 4to.[3]
