Mestersvig is a military outpost with a 1,800 m gravel runway located in Greenland's Northeast Greenland National Park. It used to be the only permanent settlement in Northeast Greenland National Park but all of the 1986 population of 40 has been split up into the three newer Northeast Greenland National Park settlements (Danmarkshavn, Nord and Daneborg) except a permanent population of two people, although tourists visit the station occasionally.

Mestersvig lies on Scoresby Land, next to King Oscar Fjord.
