The Kukpuk River is a stream, about 125 miles (201 km) long, in the western North Slope Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.[3] It flows generally west from the De Long Mountains across the Lisburne Peninsula to Marryat Inlet on the Chukchi Sea.[4] The river mouth is about 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Point Hope.[2]
The Inuit name "Kukpak" means "big river". A late 19th-century variant was "Kookpuk".[2]
