Ekuk is a small community in the Dillingham Census Area in the U.S. state of Alaska, inhabited mainly by seasonal fishing families who set gillnet in the nearby waters of the Nushagak Bay for mid-summer runs of sockeye salmon, early season runs of king salmon and late season runs of silver salmon.

Located 15 miles southeast of Dillingham and accessible only by sea or by air.

Located in Southwest Alaska on the shores of Bristol Bay (and the Bering Sea), the nearby terrain is covered with tundra with few trees or shubbery.

E>K>U>K, the Southern California pop group, is not named after this Alaskan community.
