Hvítserkur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkʰvitˌsɛr̥kʏr̥], regionally also [-ˌsɛrkʰʏr̥]) is a 15 m high basalt stack along the eastern shore of the Vatnsnes peninsula, in northwest Iceland.

The rock has two holes at the base, which give it the appearance of a dragon that is drinking. The base of the stack has been reinforced with concrete to protect its foundations from the sea.
