Halldór Helgason is an Icelandic snowboarder. Halldór was born in Akureyri, Iceland. He is the younger brother of Eirikur "Eiki" Helgason.

Halldór won a gold in Big Air at the 2010 Winter X games, making him the first Icelander to win a medal at the contest. Halldór, Eiki, their filmer Johannes Brenning and their agent Kristoffer Hansson started the belts brand 7/9/13. Beyond his professional snowboarding career Halldor also founded four companies with his brother Eiki including Lobster Snowboards, 7-9-13 Belts, Hoppipolla Headwear and Switchback Bindings.

He starred in movies "They came from" by Factor Films, and "The Storming" by Standard Films. In the winter of 2011, he and his brother Eiki Helgason released a free online film called "Sexual Snowboarding". Halldor and Eiki followed up their release of "Sexual Snowboarding" with another raw and funny look into their lives in the movie "Pepping", released free online in the fall of 2012.
