Independent People (Icelandic: Sjálfstætt fólk), was an Icelandic television interview and talk show hosted by Jón Ársæll Þórðarson, journalist and psychologist. The program was aired on the TV channel Stöð 2 in Iceland from 2001 to 2015. It has been nominated eight times to the Edda Awards: in 2002,[1] 2006,[2] 2008,[3] 2010[4] and 2011,[5] and it received the awards in 2003,[6] 2004[7] and 2005.[8]

Independent People was produced by Steingrímur Jón Þórðarson and Sky Productions and was aired weekly early Sunday nights on Stöð 2 / Channel 2, from September until May.

Jón Ársæll interviewed people of all ages. His youngest was 15-year-old singer Yohanna and the oldest interviewees were in their nineties. Normally, but not always, they were also well known in Iceland.
