Kukatush is a rail siding and ghost town in Unorganized North Part of Sudbury District, Ontario, Canada. It is located approximately west of Timmins (via Highway 101). The elevation is .

The main reason for its existence has been the presence of the Canadian National Railway siding that still functions. Only a few buildings associated with the railway remain and the area is no longer populated. However, the area has a varied history of fur trading, railway activities, mining exploration, which took place from as early as 1903 until the Kukatush Mining Corporation in the 1950s-60s, logging operations, etc. At one time there was even a basic landing strip for small aircraft arriving for local tourist outfitters camps.
