- Der Buddhismus in Island hat relativ junge Wurzeln und beschränkt sich weitgehend auf den Ballungsraum des Hauptstadtgebiets. Es gibt Kontakte zu Buddhisten in den USA, Finnland und Großbritannien. Gegenwärtig sind einige Gruppen unterschiedlicher Traditionen aktiv, darunter auch solche, die von Menschen asiatischer Herkunft getragen werden. In dem überwiegend evangelisch-lutherischen Land gehörten mit Stand vom 1. Januar 2015 1022 Personen oder 0,3 % der Bevölkerung der buddhistischen Vereinigung Búddistafélag Íslands an. Derzeit sind Aktivitäten von Theravada, Soto-Zen, Jodo Shinshu und Neue Kadampa und somit aller buddhistischen Hauptrichtungen bekannt. (de)

| - Buddhism in Iceland is followed by 0.43% of the population of Iceland, according to the 2021 Census. Buddhism has existed since the 1990s after immigration from countries with Buddhist populations, mainly Thailand. As of 2008, there are three Buddhist organizations in Iceland officially recognized as religious organizations by the Icelandic government. The oldest and largest is the Buddhist Association of Iceland, a Theravada group, which was recognized in 1996 and had 880 members in 2010. Another group, Zen in Iceland – Night Pasture, a Zen group, was recognized in 1999 and had 75 members in 2010. The most recent group is, SGI in Iceland, a Soka Gakkai group, which was recognized in 2008 with 135 members.

Derzeit sind Aktivitäten von Theravada, Soto-Zen, Jodo Shinshu und Neue Kadampa und somit aller buddhistischen Hauptrichtungen bekannt. Ins Tagesgespräch kam der Buddhismus auch durch den im Oktober 2006 am Reykjavík Film Festival gezeigten Dokumentarfilm Vertu Eðlilegur (Act Normal). Der Film schildert die Geschichte eines jungen Engländers, der in Thailand zum buddhistischen Mönch Dhammanando wird, dann einige Jahre die Gemeinde der Thai in Island betreut und schließlich die Mönchsroben ablegt, um eine Russin zu heiraten.
