The Tree River (Kogluktualuk) is a river in Nunavut, Canada. It flows into Coronation Gulf, an arm of the Arctic Ocean.
Glacial landforms, such as a kame delta, are represented in the area of the Tree River.{{cite web |url=http://elibrary.sd71.bc.ca/subject_resources/science/7_support_files/chapter_9/glacial_meltwater_e.pdf |title=Canadian Landscapes Fact Sheets |work=Kame delta (figure) |publisher=elibrary.sd71.bc.ca |accessdate=2014-02-02}}
This area was the ancestral home of several Copper Inuit bands, including the Kogluktualugmiut (also known as Utkusiksaligmiut), who lived along its shores; the Pingangnaktogmiut, who lived west of the river; and the Nagyuktogmiut (also known as Killinermiut), who lived east of Tree River.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-NhBAAAAIAAJ&dq=%22Prince+Albert+Sound%22&pg=PA50 |title=The Stefánsson-Anderson Arctic Expedition of the American Museum: Preliminary Ethnological Report |last=Stefansson |first=Vilhjalmur |year=1914 |publisher=The Trustees of the American Museum |location=New York |oclc=13626409 |page=27}}
