Mord Sighvatsson (c. 900–968; Old Norse: Morðr Sighvatsson [ˈmorðz̠ ˈsiɣˌxwɑtsˌson]; Modern Icelandic: Morður Sighvatsson [ˈmɔrðʏr ˈsɪɣˌkʰvatsˌsɔːn]), better known as Mord "Fiddle" (O.N.: Morðr Gígja [ˈɡiːɣjɑ]; M.I.: Morður Gígja [ˈciːja]) was a wealthy Icelandic farmer and expert on Icelandic law who lived during the late Settlement Period and early Commonwealth Period. According to Njals Saga, he was the son of Sighvat the Red, but Landnámabók asserts that Mord was Sighvat's grandson. Mord was the father of Unn Mordardottir, who for a time was married to Hrútr Herjólfsson.
