Queen Maud Gulf (68°19′59″N, 102°0′0″W) lies between the northern coast of the mainland and the southwestern corner of Victoria Island in Nunavut, Canada. At its western end lies Cambridge Bay, leading to Dease Strait; to the east lies Simpson Strait; and to the north, Victoria Strait.

It was named by the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen in 1905 for Maud of Wales, the Queen of Norway.
