Citronen Fjord is a fjord in Peary Land, far northern Greenland.[1] Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
The name of the fjord was given by Danish Arctic explorer Eigil Knuth during the Danish Peary Land Expedition of 1947–1950. It was named after Danish freedom fighters.[2]
