The Kuk River{{Pronunciation-needed}} is a {{convert|35|mi|km|adj=on}} long stream in the North Slope Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] It heads at the confluence of the Avalik and Kaolak rivers and flows north to Wainwright Inlet, {{convert|6|mi|km|0}} southeast of Wainwright.[3] The inlet links to the Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean.[1]

Kuk means river in the Inuit language. Nineteenth century maps variously listed streams entering the Wainwright Inlet as "Koh", "Kong", "Tutua Wing", "Ku", "Kook", "Koo", and "Kee".[3]
