Sirmilik National Park (/ˈsɜːrməlɪk/; Inuktitut: "the place of glaciers"[2]) is a national park located in Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavut, Canada, established in 1999.[3][4][5] Situated within the Arctic Cordillera, the park is composed of three areas: most of Bylot Island with the exception for a few areas that are Inuit-owned lands, Kangiqłuruluk, and Baffin Island's Borden Peninsula.[3][6] Much of the park is bordered by water.

Geographically, it is representative of the Northern Eastern Arctic Lowlands Natural Region as well as parts of the Lancaster Sound Marine Region.[3]
