Kangerlussuaq Fjord (old spelling: Kangerdlugssuaq, Danish: Søndre Strømfjord) is a long fjord in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland. The fjord is 190 km (120 mi) long and between 1.5 km (0.93 mi) and 8 km (5.0 mi) wide, flowing from the estuary of Qinnguata Kuussua river to the southwest, and emptying into the Davis Strait. It is the longest fjord of western Greenland.
The head of the fjord is located at 67°00′18″N 50°41′35″W / 67.00500°N 50.69306°W, at the estuary of the Qinnguata Kuussua river flowing from the Russell Glacier of the Greenland ice sheet (Greenlandic: Sermersuaq). The fjord mouth is located at 66°01′40″N 53°32′00″W / 66.02778°N 53.53333°W, south of the Simiutaq Island. Another, smaller waterway connects to the sea to the north of the island.
