Atiak (also Attiak or Attiack ) is a refugee camp north of the city of Gulu in northern Uganda that has existed since around 1997.

The approximately 26,000 residents (as of 2007) who fled the Lord's Resistance Army are dependent on food deliveries from charitable organizations.

There is a polyclinic in Atiak , which is designed for a catchment area of ​​100,000 people. According to a report by the Ugandan Ministry of Health from December 2006, this polyclinic still lacks the necessary equipment. The international aid organization Médecins sans frontières supports the medical work in Atiak with its national sections.

In December 2007, Die Zeit reported on Wolfgang Niedecken's visit to Atiak.
