  Location of the mouth of the Wulik River in Alaska

The Wulik River is a stream, about 80 miles (130 km) long, in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] Originating in the De Long Mountains in the North Slope Borough, it flows southwest to Kivalina Lagoon in the Chukchi Sea, east of Kivalina[2]
Umiak Bend, along the river and 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Kivalina, was named after an Inuit skin boat (umiak) was destroyed there by rough water.[3]
In 1886, a United States Navy lieutenant reported the Inuit name of this river as "Woleek."[2]
