King Oscar Fjord (Danish: Kong Oscar Fjord; Greenlandic: Kangerluk Kong Oscar) is a fjord in East Greenland, marking the northern border of the Scoresby Land Peninsula.

It was named by A.G. Nathorst on his 1899 expedition as Konung Oscars Fjord for Oscar II, King of Sweden from 1872 to 1907 and of Norway from 1872 until 1905.
