Craig Harbour (Шаблон:Coord) is an abandoned settlement in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located on Ellesmere Island, on the north shore of Jones Sound, Шаблон:Cvt southeast of Grise Fiord.

In 1922, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police detachment was established at Craig Harbour, named in honour of Dr. John D. Craig, expedition commander.[1] The site was selected as Smith Island protected the harbour from moving pack ice, and the nearby mouth of Jones Sound made the harbour's navigation accessible.[2] The outpost was closed in the 1930s, and re-opened in 1951 at the start of the Cold War.[3]
