Ningaluk River (also Ninglick River) (Ningliq in Yup'ik) is a channel, Template:Convert long, between Baird Inlet and Hazen Bay on the west coast of the U.S. state of Alaska.[1] Flowing generally west, it enters the bay north of Kigigak Island.[2] The bay, about Template:Convert west of Bethel, is on the Bering Sea.[1]

The U.S. Marine Corps has been working to create emergency shelter, roads, homes, and an airfield in nearby Mertarvik for 400 Yupik Eskimo displaced from Newtok along the Ninglick River. The federal government is supporting the Template:Convert move, which is necessitated by erosion, melting, and the sinking of permafrost at Newtok.[3]
