Pilattuaq (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐱᓚᑦᑐᐊᖅ[1]) formerly Scott Island[2] is an uninhabited island in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. It is located in Baffin Bay, off the eastern coast of Baffin Island, in the middle of Scott Inlet, north of the confluence of Clark Fiord and Gibbs Fiord which embrace Qikiqtaaluk.
Another, much smaller Scott Island lies off the southwest coast of Baffin Island, near the mouth of Keltie Inlet.
