Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis is a dubious genus of hadrosaurid from the Prince Creek Formation of Alaska. Its name is derived from Inupiat, meaning 'ancient grazer'. The genus lived during the late Cretaceous period at one of the highest latitudes. Although it was first thought to be a separate genus, scientists now believe it to be a species of Edmontosaurus (E. kiikpikensis). However, whether or not Ugrunaaluk is a species of Edmotosaurus cannot be distinguished because the fossils are juveniles.
