The Ukukit (Russian: Укукит) is a river in Yakutia (Sakha Republic), Russia. It is a tributary of the Olenyok with a length of 347 kilometres (216 mi). Its drainage basin area is 5,000 square kilometres (1,900 mi²).

The river flows north of the Arctic Circle across a lonely, desolate area of the Olenyoksky District devoid of settlements. In the 1980s kimberlite dikes were discovered by geologists in the basin of the Ukukit.
