Location of the mouth of the Nugnugaluktuk River in Alaska

The Nugnugaluktuk River is a stream, 26 miles (42 km) long, on the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] It flows east from within the Nome Census Area to Goodhope Bay, about 37 miles (60 km) northwest of Deering in the Northwest Arctic Borough.[2] The bay is on Kotzebue Sound of the Chukchi Sea.[2] The entire course of the river lies within the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve.[4]

The river's assigned name comes from the Inuit, as reported in 1903. In 1998, the Inupiat name was recorded as Liglignaqtuugvik.[2]
