Agivavik is a former Inuit settlement and ghost town in Dillingham Census Area, Alaska, United States. It was located on the west bank of the Nushagak River. The site is approximately 6 miles southwest of the city of New Stuyahok and 3 miles northeast of the city of Ekwok. It was initially noted by the Nushagak Russian Orthodox Church vital statistics in 1863 and was visited by a missionary. In 1879, it was noted to have 47 residents. A Father Vasili Shishkin visited the settlement in 1882 and noted it was "one of only three" occupied villages along the river. The 1880 census did not mention the number of homes occupied, though the 1890 census stated there were two.
