The Parc national Ulittaniujalik ( Inuktitut ᐅᓕᑦᑕᓂᐅᔭᓕᒃ ᒥᕐᖑᐃᓯᕐᕕᖓ ) is a 5293.00 km² Parcs national in the Canadian province of Québec . There, however , a parc national corresponds to what corresponds to a provincial park in the other provinces and territories .

The park, established on July 29, 2016, is located on the Ungava Peninsula in the extreme north of the Canadian province of Québec in the Nunavik region and is currently the youngest of the provincial parks. The closest location, the Inuit settlement Kangiqsualujjuaq , is north of the park on the banks of Ungava Bay .

The highest point in the reserve is the Pic Pyramid , with a height of 400  m . To the west of the mountain, the park is traversed by the Rivière George .

According to the park administration, 34 species of mammals, 97 species of birds, 11 species of fish and 4 species of amphibians live in the protected area.

In principle, the Parcs national in the province of Québec are administered by the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (Sépaq). However, since the park is north of the 55th parallel and therefore in the Nunavik region, it is managed by Parcs Nunavik, which is subordinate to the Administration régionale Kativik (Kativik Regional Government, KGR) .
