Qeqertarsuaq is a port town in Greenland, located on Disko Island, and founded in 1773.

It is also known as Godhavn or as part of the Whalefish Islands.

The town hosts a campus of the University of Copenhagen known as Arctic Station.

Sir Franklin's lost Expedition briefly stopped here with HMS Rattler and a supply ship the Baretto Junior. After it left the bay, the expedition was never heard from again.
