The 44th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 44 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

At this latitude, astronomically, the dusk is visible circa 15 hours 29 minutes before the dawn during the summer solstice (at the Equator circa 12 hours 7 minutes) and 8 hours, 53 minutes during the winter solstice.
