    Sæmundarhlíð is a settlement in the western part of Skagafjörður and lies along the mountain slope south of Vatnsskarð out under Reynistað. The eastern boundary is by Sæmundará, which flows along the length of the slope and then bends to the east close to Reynistað. During the settlement period, the name Sæmundarhlíðar seems to have reached further north, all the way to Gönguskarðsá. The hill is named after the settler Sæmundur from southern Iceland.
