The Krawtchouk polynomials are considered for large values of the degree \(n\). A uniform asymptotic expansion is derived, involving parabolic cylinder functions as main approximants. The expansion holds uniformly in certain domains of the parameters. The method is based on contour integrals for the polynomials and the saddle point method.
