Maud-ekspedisjonen var Roald Amundsens ekspedisjon gjennom Nord stpassasjen i rene 1918-1925 med sin nybygde polarskute "Maud". Med seg hadde han ni menn, inkludert oseanograf og vitenskapelig leder Harald Ulrik Sverdrup. Det tok to r seile gjennom den isfylte Nord stpassasjen, og ett r til fast i isen nord for Beringstredet f r Amundsen ga opp og fors kte i stedet fly over Polhavet. "Maud" fortsatte med redusert mannskap til 1925 uten komme inn i st-vest-str mmen. Den dedikerte innsatsen til Sverdrup med de omfattende geofysiske m lingene og observasjonene st r som ekspedisjonens viktigste resultat. Hans studie av tsjuktsjerne var ogs et vesentlig arbeid.
