Maigret at the Crossroads ({{Lang-fr|La Nuit du carrefour}}) is a detective novel by the Belgian writer Georges Simenon. Published in 1931, it is one of the earliest novels to feature Inspector Maigret in the role of the chief police investigator, a character that has since become one of the best-known detectives in fiction.

  • Carl Andersen and Else Andersen, an aristocratic Danish duo who live in a secluded house at the crossroads
  • Monsieur Michonnet, an insurance agent in whose car the body of Goldberg was found
  • Monsieur Oscar, the owner of the service station at the crossroads
