Iglunga (previously: Iglungayut) was an Inuit settlement, now uninhabited, in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located on a Baffin Island offshore island at the southern entrance into Bon Accord Harbour,[1] southwest of Auyuittuq National Park Reserve. The nearest community is Pangnirtung.

The elevation is 3 ft (0.91 m).[2][3]

The name change from Iglungayut to Iglunga occurred 4 July 1957.[4]
