The Kuzitrin River is a river found on the Seward Peninsula of Northwest Alaska.[1] The river headwaters are at the Lost Jim Lava Flow in the central region of the peninsula, and flows 95 miles west into the Imuruk Basin, which eventually feeds the Bering Sea. Kuzitrin tribuatries include the Noxapaga, Kougarok and Pilgrim Rivers.

Its Inuit name was reported in 1900 by Brooks (1901, pl. 3), USGS.

There is one former village site on the lower Kuzitrin, at what is today called Mary's Igloo. The village is now abandoned, but is still used for subsistence activities by people from the nearby village of Teller.
