The Etivluk River{{Pronunciation-needed}} is a {{convert|56|mi|km|adj=on}} tributary of the Colville River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] A bend in the river about {{convert|15|mi|km}} from the mouth has been identified as one of the most remote locations in mainland Alaska. It is about {{convert|120|mi|km}} from the nearest towns of Ambler to the southwest and Atqasuk to the north and farther from any other settled area in the state.[4]

The river begins at Nigtun Lake and flows generally to the north-northeast before joining the Colville River. The Nigu River enters the Etivluk from the right near its headwaters,[5] and the joined rivers are sometimes referred to as the Etivluk-Nigu River. The entire length of the Etivluk flows through a remote area of northern Alaska, entirely north of the Arctic Circle.[5]
