Þórarinn Skeggjason was an 11th-century Icelandic skald. According to Skáldatal, he was a court poet of the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada. He composed a drápa on the king. Only one half-stanza of it has been preserved in the kings' sagas. It tells that Harald blinded the Byzantine emperor Constantine Monomachos.
