Oskar Omdal (October 11, 1895 – December 23, 1927) was a lieutenant and pilot in the Royal Norwegian Navy.

[2][3] In 1923 with Roald Amundsen he tried to fly from Wainwright, Alaska, to Spitsbergen across the North Pole, but their aircraft was damaged and they abandoned the journey.

In 1925, Omdal was a mechanic on Lincoln Ellsworth and Roald Amundsen's attempted flight to the North Pole.

[4][5] [6] [7] Omdal took off on December 23, 1927, from Curtiss Field on Long Island, New York, with Frances Wilson Grayson, navigator Brice Goldsborough and engineer Frank Koehler headed for Harbor Grace in Newfoundland.

[10][11] In 1928, the Ontario Surveyor General named a number of lakes in the northwest of the province to honour aviators who had perished during 1927, mainly in attempting oceanic flights.
