{{Short description|River in Nunavut, Canada}} The '''Turnabout River''' is located on [[Ellesmere Island]], [[Nunavut]], [[Canada]]. It drains both [[Turnabout Lake]] and [[Turnabout Glacier]] into [[Lake Hazen]].

The river, the lake and [[Turnabout Glacier]] were named in 1957-58 during the [[International Geophysical Year]] by the ''Hazen Camp'' party directed by [[Geoffrey Hattersley-Smith]]. The river was named ''Turnabout'' due to its meandering course.
