Frobisher Bay (62°49′59″N, 66°34′59″W) is a relatively large inlet of the Labrador Sea in the southeastern corner of Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. It is named for the English navigator Martin Frobisher, who, during his search for the Northwest Passage in 1576, became the first European to visit it. Until 1860, the bay was thought to be a strait separating Baffin Island from another island.

The capital of Nunavut, Iqaluit (formerly also known as Frobisher Bay), lies beside the far end of the bay.
