Lucy Tulugarjuk (born February 28, 1975) is an Inuit Canadian actress and throat singer.
She is from Igloolik, Nunavut and is known for starring in the 2001 film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, for which she won the award for Best Actress at the American Indian Film Festival. In 2015, she acted in the film Maliglutit.
She performs as a throat singer, but in 2014 declined to perform for Nunavut MP Leona Aglukkaq in protest of the government's seismic testing. That year, she wore seal skin at the Gone Wild show in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories to support Inuit culture. In 2016, she also called for the resignation of Aglukkaq's successor as MP, Hunter Tootoo.
