Dronning Maud Land (or Queen Maud Land) is the part of Antarctica lying between 20°W and 45°E, with a land area of approximately 2,500,000 km². This territory was claimed by Norway on January 14, 1939, but this claim, like all others in the Antarctic, is not universally recognized and the area is subject to the terms of the Antarctic Treaty. The other antarctic territory claimed by Norway is Peter I Island.

Dronning Maud Land was named by Roald Amundsen in honour of Queen Maud of Norway.
