Karlakórinn Heimir ("The Heimir Men's Choir") is an Icelandic choir. It was founded in Skagafjörður on 28 December 1927. Most of the founding members of the choir came from a men's choir named Bændakórinn. Karlakórinn Heimir has traveled to many countries around the world.[1]

The choir's first conductor was Gísli Magnússon. Subsequently, Jón Björnsson was conductor for almost 40 years. Helga Rós Indriðadóttir is the current conductor.
