Ammassivik (old spelling: Angmagssivik) is a settlement in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland. The modern name is the Kalaallisut for "where you catch ammassaat (capelin)". Its population was 74 in 2010 and 32 in 2020.[1]
The settlement was founded in 1889 as Sletten. In 1899, a school – the Isak Lundip atuarfia – was built in the settlement by Danish missionaries. The school had 6 students in 2005.
