The most deadly attack was reported in the town of Taji, north of Baghdad.
Eight people were killed and at least 22 wounded there in three car bomb attacks, police said.
Although violence has decreased in Iraq since its peak in 2006 and 2007, attacks escalated again after the withdrawal of US troops from the country at the end of last year.
Some reports said the parked car bomb blasts in Taji were near Shia Muslim homes in the mainly Sunni town, which is 20km (12 miles) north of Baghdad.
But others said the blasts targeted police checkpoints.
Police told Associated Press one person was also killed by a bomb in the north-western Shia neighbourhood of the capital, Baghdad.
Iraq has suffered a number of deadly attacks recently.
On 17 September, at least seven people were killed in a suicide car bomb attack near the heavily-guarded International Zone in Baghdad.
A week earlier, dozens of people died in a wave of attacks across the country.
On 13 June, a wave of bombings killed 84 people and injured nearly 300 in the deadliest day in the country since US troops withdrew.
