Aishihik is a mostly uninhabited former community at the north end of Aishihik Lake in Canada's Yukon Territory. Until 1968, it was the location of a military airfield established during World War II as part of the Northwest Staging Route. The withdrawal of military service led to the community's depopulation, except for a small number of First Nations people. The Champagne and Aishihik First Nations continue to use it for traditional purposes such as meetings. It is 135 kilometres (84 miles) from the Alaska Highway on the Aishihik Road, most of which is no longer maintained.
