**Albert Edward Bay** is a bay on the southeast side of [Victoria Island](/source/Victoria_Island) in the [Arctic Archipelago](/source/Arctic_Archipelago). It faces [Victoria Strait](/source/Victoria_Strait) to the east. There are several islands in the bay, the largest of which is [Admiralty Island](/source/Admiralty_Island_(Nunavut)) at its mouth. Its north side is the [Collinson Peninsula](/source/Collinson_Peninsula).

It is part of the [Kitikmeot Region](/source/Kitikmeot_Region), [Nunavut](/source/Nunavut), Canada and is named in honour of King [Edward VII](/source/Edward_VII_of_the_United_Kingdom). The first European to see it was [John Rae](/source/John_Rae_(explorer)) in 1851, followed by some of [Richard Collinson](/source/Richard_Collinson)'s men two years later. It is the ancestral home of the [Ekalluktogmiut](/source/Ekalluktogmiut)[2] group of [Copper Inuit](/source/Copper_Inuit) who lived along the [Ekalluk River](/source/Ekalluk_River).
