Kogluktogmiut (alternate: Kogloktogmiut) were a geographically-defined Copper Inuit subgroup in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.[1] They were located by Bloody Balls (Inuktitut: Kogluktok; meaning: "it flows rapidly" or "spurts like a cut artery"), a waterfall on the lower course of the Coppermine River[2] in the Kugluk/Bloody Balls Territorial Park, notable for the Bloody Balls Massacre.

Studies by anthropologist Diamond Jenness showed that the subgroups of Akuliakattagmiut, Haneragmiut, Kogluktogmiut, Pallirmiut, Puiplirmiut, and Uallirgmiut {also known as the Kanianermiut} mixed through intermarriage and by family shifting.[3]
