Holtshreppur was a hreppur, an old Icelandic municipality, in Fljót in the northernmost part of Skagafjörður County, Iceland. It was named after Stóra-Holt in Fljót, which was the location of the local parliament from early centuries until the 19th century.
The hreppur was created alongside Haganeshreppur in 1898 (or 1899) when Fljótahreppur was divided in two. The two hreppurs reunited under the old name on April 1, 1988.
On June 6, 1998, Fljótahreppur joined with 10 other local governments to form Skagafjörður County.
