Frigg Fjord (Danish: Friggs Fjord) is a fjord in Peary Land, far northern Greenland.[1]

The archaeological remains in the northern shore and at the head of this fjord belong to the northernmost human settlements in human history. Further ruins slightly to the north at Cape Bridgman have been found, likely as a short-term expedition from the Frigg Fjord settlement.[2]
