The Iceland international struck in the 70th minute with a left-footed shot to restore the home side’s advantage after Shane Long had equalised from close range in the 57th.
Centre-back Alfie Mawson had headed Swansea in front in the 38th minute off a Sigurdsson cross following a corner.
The victory was resurgent Swansea’s third in four league games, and their first back-to-back success of the season, leaving new manager Paul Clement’s side in 17th place with 21 points. Southampton are 12th.
