In Icelandic literature, a ríma (literally "a rhyme", pl. rímur, ) is an epic poem written in any of the so-called rímnahættir ("rímur meters"). They are rhymed, they alliterate and consist of two to four lines per stanza. The plural, rímur, is either used as an ordinary plural, denoting any two or more rímur, but is also used for more expansive works, containing more than one ríma as a whole. Thus Ólafs ríma Haraldssonar denotes an epic about Ólafr Haraldsson in one ríma, while Núma rímur are a multi-part epic on Numa Pompilius.
Rímur is a limited EP record released independently by Sigur Rós featuring Steindór Andersen performing rímur. It was sold during the band's spring 2001 tour. Only 1000 copies of the EP were printed.
A live performance of "Á ferð til Breiðafjarðar vorið 1922" with Steindór later appeared on the band's 2007 DVD release Heima.
