Boothijski zaljev (IPA eng.: /ˈbθiə/) je vodena površina u Nunavutu u Kanadi. Upravno je podijeljen između regije Kitikmeot na zapadu i regije Qikiqtaaluk na istoku. Spaja se s prolazom Princa Regenta, s kojim zajedno sačinjava jedan zaljev sa različitim imenima za njegove dijelove. U smjeru kazaljke na satu, zaljev je okružen Baffinovim otokom, tjesnacem Fury and Hecla, poluotokom Melville, kanadskim kopnom, Boothijskim poluotokom i eventualno prolazom Bellot ako se smatra da se zaljev prostire toliko na sjever. Južni kraj je zaljev Committee, sjeverozapadno od koga se nalaze poluotok Simpson i zaljevom Pelly. Pored njegove veze s prolazom Princa Regenta, može se pomoću ledolomca ići na istok ka tjesnacu Fury and Hecla, ili, uz malo sreće, proći na zapad kroz tjesnac Bellot.

Godine 1822., zaljev su opazili neki ljudi Williama Edwarda Parryja koji su pješke prelazili tjesnac Fury and Hecla. Godine 1829. ušao je John Ross u zaljev koji je bio zaleđen četiri godine i nazvao ga po svom patronu Sir Felixu Boothu. Njegov južni kraj je istražio John Rae zime 1846/47 kada ga je dostigao s kopna na jugu.
