High spatial resolution magnetic imaging has driven important developments in fields ranging from materials science to biology. However, to uncover finer details approaching the nanoscale with greater sensitivity requires the development of a radically new sensor technology. The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond has emerged as a promising candidate for such a sensor based on its atomic size and quantum-limited sensing capabilities afforded by long spin coherence times. Although the NV center has been successfully implemented as a nanoscale scanning magnetic probe at room temperature, it has remained an outstanding challenge to extend this capability to cryogenic temperatures, where many solid-state systems exhibit non-trivial magnetic order. Here we present NV magnetic imaging down to 6 K with 6 nm spatial resolution and 3 {mu}T/$sqrt{mbox{Hz}}$ field sensitivity, first benchmarking the technique with a magnetic hard disk sample, then utilizing the technique to image vortices in the iron pnictide superconductor BaFe$_2$(As$_{0.7}$P$_{0.3}$)$_2$ with $T_c$ = 30 K. The expansion of NV-based magnetic imaging to cryogenic temperatures represents an important advance in state-of-the-art magnetometry, which will enable future studies of heretofore inaccessible nanoscale magnetism in condensed matter systems.
