Convoys PQ 9/10 (1–10 February 1942) was an Arctic convoy sent from Great Britain via Iceland by the Western Allies to aid the Soviet Union during the Second World War. The departure of Convoy PQ 9 on 17 January had been delayed after the Admiralty received reports of a sortie by the German battleship Tirpitz. The ships arrived in Murmansk without loss after an uneventful voyage.
