Kanajjut (Inuktitut syllabics: ᑲᓇᔾᔪᑦ[1]), formerly Wight Inlet,[2] is a body of water in Nunavut's Qikiqtaaluk Region. It lies in western Hudson Strait, forming a wedge into Baffin Island's Meta Incognita Peninsula and the western slopes of the Everett Mountains.
It was, for a time, named after Sergeant James Edward Freeman Wight, North-West Mounted Police and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who had been involved with the arrest of Uloqsaq and Sinnisiak.
