The Nordenskjöld Coast is that portion of the east coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory between Cape Longing and Cape Fairweather.
The name was proposed in 1909 by Edwin Swift Balch, for Otto Nordenskiöld, the Swedish geographer and leader of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, who explored this coast in 1902 on his ship Antarctic.
The area was later explored by Lincoln Ellsworth.
