Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) - juga dikenal sebagai Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP), dan Explorer 80 - adalah sebuah pesawat ruang angkasa yang mengukur perbedaan suhu sisa panas radiasi Big Bang - Radiasi latar belakang gelombang mikro kosmis - di langit. Dipimpin oleh Profesor Charles L. Bennett, Johns Hopkins University, misi dikembangkan dalam kemitraan bersama antara NASA Goddard Space Flight Center dan Princeton University. Pesawat ruang angkasa WMAP diluncurkan pada 30 Juni, 2001 at 19:46:46 GDT, dari Florida. Misi WMAP adalah misi ruang angkasa COBE yang berhasil dan pesawat ruang angkasa kedua kelas medium (MIDEX) dari program Explorer. Pada tahun 2003, MAP telah berganti nama WMAP menghormati kosmolog David Todd Wilkinson (1935-2002), yang pernah menjadi anggota tim misi sains.
