Viscount Melville Sound is a body of water that separates Victoria Island and Prince of Wales Island from the Queen Elizabeth Islands in Nunavut, Canada. East of the sound lies Lancaster Sound, leading into Baffin Bay; westward lies the McClure Strait and the Arctic Ocean.

In 1853 Edward Belcher abandoned his ship, HMS Resolute, in the sound while searching for John Franklin
