Leif Dietrichson (1 September 1890 – disappeared 18 June 1928) was a Norwegian military officer and aviation pioneer. He is most famous for joining Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth in the 1925 North Pole Expedition. In 1928, Dietrichson disappeared with Amundsen and four others as they travelled in their flying boat to join the search for survivors of the crash of the airship Italia during the expedition of Umberto Nobile.
