Killiniq Island (English: ice floes) is a small, remote island in northeastern Canada. Located at the extreme northern tip of Labrador between Ungava Bay and the Labrador Sea, it is notable in that it contains the only land border between Nunavut Territory and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, as the mainland border between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador continues through this littoral island. Most other islands off the northern coast of Quebec and Labrador belong exclusively to Nunavut.

The northernmost point of Newfoundland and Labrador is Cape Chidley on the island.
