Pauloff Harbor is an incorporated community with no year-round population, located on Pavlov Harbor on the northern coast of Sanak Island, 50 miles (80 km) southeast of False Pass, in the Aleutians East Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska.

It was established in 1886 as a codfish station for Union Fish Company. Established close to the cod banks, fishermen would go out daily in dories and the resulting catch would be salted and processed until it could be picked up by cargo ship. A U.S. post office was established in Pauloff Harbor in 1949 and mail was delivered by mail boat, the M/V Expansion.
