The Makinson Inlet (77.26667°N, -79.65°W) is an inlet in Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada. It is located in the southeastern shore of Ellesmere Island and opens eastwards to Baffin Bay between Boger Point to the north and Cape Stokes to the south. To the west is Bowman Island and Piliravijuk Bay, and to the south-west Bentham Fiord.
