Camille Iquliq (1963–2005) was an Inuit artist[1][2] who lived in Baker Lake, Nunavut,[3][4] and began carving in 1984.[2] Her father Tuna and brothers Louie and Johnny were carvers as well as her mother, Sarah Anautaq Iquliq, who also drew and made prints.[2][3]

Iquliq often worked with soapstone, most frequently depicting rounded human figures with a focus on families.[3][5][6] She also carved animal figures[7][8] as well as working in wool felt.[9] Some of this work is in the Government of Nunavut Fine Art Collection[9] and the Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec.[1]

Iquliq died in 2005 as a result of cancer.[2]
