The Territory of Ashuanipi (French: Territoire d'Ashuanipi) was a formerly disputed area and territory of Quebec that was claimed by Quebec and the Dominion of Newfoundland from 1899 and 1927.
Ashuanipi was first devised under the territorial claims of the Quebec Boundary Extension Act, 1898, and then subdivided under the 1899 An Act respecting the territories of Abittibi, Mistassini and Ashuanipi. The territory would be effectively annulled after a 1927 ruling by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council defining the border between Newfoundland and Canada, but Quebec continues to recognize the region as a territory of Quebec in the Territorial Division Act.
