Summary: We prove that the crossed product $A\rtimes_\alpha G$ of a separable unital quasidiagonal $C^*$-algebra $A$ by a discrete countable amenable maximally almost periodic group $G$ is quasidiagonal, provided that the action $\alpha$ is almost periodic. This generalizes a result of Pimsner and Voiculescu.
