Uganik Bay is a bay on the north coast of Kodiak Island, Alaska, extending southeast off Shelikof Strait.[1][2] The Uganik River empties into it.[3] The community of Uganik is found at the west shore of the northeast arm of the bay.[4][5]

There are several small islands in the bay. A group called the Village Islands is found on the west shore of the bay. Most are unnamed in the Geographic Names Information System, except Green Island.[6][7]
