Aklavik (Barren-ground grizzly place) is a community located 68°13' North latitude and 135°00' West longitude in the territory of Northwest Territories, Canada. Until 1961, the community served as the regional administrative center for the territorial government. Building conditions at the time considered to be unsuitable resulted in the development of Inuvik to the east, meant to entirely replace Aklavik. However, many residents have persevered and kept Aklavik as a vibrant community.
Population is 632 according to the 2001 Census.
The community is served only by air and by winter ice-road directly from Inuvik across the streams of the Mackenzie Delta.
