Jón Laxdal (né Jón Laxdal Halldórsson; 7 June 1933, Ísafjörður – 15 May 2005, Kaiserstuhl, Aargau) was an Icelandic-Swiss stage actor. A child of Icelandic fisherman,[1] he later settled in Switzerland and became a member for the Schauspielhaus Zürich, then settled in Kaiserstuhl, Aargau in 1973.[2] He was noticeable for the localization of the play, Love Letters, by A. R. Gurney.[3][4]

Laxdal died during the rehearsal for the play, Kleine Eheverbrechen.[5] He was married to Katerina Laxdal until his death.[6]

He is not to be confused with the Icelandic composer, Jón Laxdal (1865 – 1928).
