Bálki Blængsson nam land í Hrútafirði og bjó á Bálkastöðum.
Bálki Blængsson var landnámsmaður í Hrútafirði. Í Landnámabók er hann sagður hafa verið sonur Blængs Sótasonar af Sótanesi og bróðir Önundar Blængssonar landnámsmanns í Kelduhverfi.
Bálki var einn af andstæðingum Haraldar hárfagra í Hafursfjarðarorrustu og eftir það fór hann til Íslands og nam allan Hrútafjörð. Sagt er að hann hafi búið bæði á Ytri-Bálkastöðum, sem eru utarlega á Heggstaðanesi, og Syðri-Bálkastöðum, sem eru innst í firðinum, en seinast í Bæ. Ýmsir virðast svo hafa fengið land hjá honum en margt er óljóst um landnám í Hrútafirði og mörk þeirra.
Sonur Bálka er sagður hafa verið Bersi goðlauss, sem nam Langavatnsdal. Hann var afi Bjarnar Hítdælakappa. Dóttir Bálka hét Geirlaug. Hún var amma Hólmgöngu-Bersa.
