"Hoppípolla" is een single van de IJslandse band Sigur Rós. Het is afkomstig van het album Takk.... "Hoppípolla" werd in november 2005 in het Verenigd Koninkrijk uitgebracht, en opnieuw uitgegeven op 1 mei 2006. Op de single staat ook een andere versie van het eerder uitgebrachte "Hafsól".

"Hoppípolla" (pronounced [ˈhɔʰpiˌpʰɔtl̥a]) is a song by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós from their 2005 album Takk.... It was released as the album's second single on 28 November 2005. The song title is a univerbation of hoppa í polla (the -a in hoppa is not pronounced), which is Icelandic for "hopping into puddles", and the lyrics are mainly in Icelandic, with some nonsensical phrases, a "language" the band calls Vonlenska ("Hopelandic"). As with many of the band's songs, it was given a nickname in the early stages of writing. "Hoppípolla" was "The Money Song", as the band was certain they had written a song which would have commercial success.

"Hoppípolla" is the band's most successful single, charting at number 24 on the UK Singles Chart in May 2006. It is also considered the best-known song within its genre. The single also features "Með blóðnasir", an instrumental coda to "Hoppípolla", which is also featured on Takk...; and a studio remake of "Hafssól", a song previously released on the band's 1997 debut album, Von. The title appears as "Hafsól" on the single.
