Kveldúlfur was an Icelandic trawler company that was established in 1912 by Thor Jensen.[1]

Kveldúlfur was one of the largest fishing companies in Iceland until the Second World War, running 7 boats at peak. It made Jensen one of the wealthiest men in Iceland.[2] The company operated from Reykjavík. In 1929 it caught 23,791,000 kilos of fish.[3] After World War II the company declined and eventually operated with just one trawler

Kveldúlfur closed in 1977.
