The Mackenzie River wolf (Canis lupus mackenzii) is a subspecies of the gray wolf, Canis lupus, and is found in the Canadian Northwest Territories.

Not much has been "published" on Canis lupus mackenzii but one of the most comprehensive studies was done in 1954 by W.A. Fuller, Wolf Control Operations, Southern Mackenzie District, Canada Wildlife Service Report.

In 1992, this wolf was re-classified as Canis lupus occidentalis, the Mackenzie Valley wolf, common with wolves in Alaska and Western Canada.
