Clyde Inlet (70°19′N 68°19′W / 70.317°N 68.317°WCoordinates: 70°19′N 68°19′W / 70.317°N 68.317°W) is a body of water in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region. It is a westerly flowing arm of Davis Strait in eastern Baffin Island.
At one time, Clyde Inlet was a 120 km (75 mi) long fiord.[1] There are several fiords in the area now, including Inugsuin Fiord and McBeth Fiord, as well as un-named islands.
The Inuit community of Clyde River is located on the inlet's Patricia Bay.
