"Örugglega", was an album released in 1983 by Icelandic guitar player Björgvin Gíslason.
"Örugglega", which was the third solo release by Gíslason, was recorded at the beginning of 1983 and featured singer Björk Guðmundsdóttir on the track “Afi”. This song has also appeared in later compilations, such as "Tvær í Takinu" (1984) and "Stelpurnar Okkar 1970-1994" (1997). Björgvin was also accompanied by Pétur Hjaltested in keyboards and Ásgeir Óskarsson in drums and bass.
Most of the tracks were written by Björgvin and Bjartmar Guðlaugsson, with the exception of “Xylophone” which was written by Björgvin and Sigurður Bjóla Garðarsson, and the instrumental tracks “Í Minningu…”, “Tunglskin í Trjánum”, “Tunglskin í Trjánum” and “Katla”, which were written by Björgvin himself.

"Örugglega", that could be translated as "Absolutely", has never been reissued on CD format and today it is considered a collector’s item.
