The Tagagawik River is a stream, 85 miles (137 km) long, in the northwestern part of the U.S. state of Alaska. It flows generally north and joins the Selawik River approximately 30 miles (48 km) south east of the village of Selawik.
Its Inuit name was first reported in 1886 by U.S. Navy Lieutenant Stoney, which he spelled as "Tag-gag-a-wik". The name appeared on a map in 1900.
