Queen Maud Gulf ( 68°19′59″N, 102°0′0″W) lies between the northern coast of the mainland and the southeastern 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 Queen Maud of Norway.
