Pukatawagan is a First Nations community about 210 km (130 mi) north of The Pas in Manitoba. It is part of the Mathias Colomb First Nation. It can be reached by train from The Pas by a branch of the Keewatin Railway Company, a passenger service provided by Via Rail. An ice road is utilized after the lakes have frozen. The Pukatawagan Airport, located east of town, is used by Missinippi Airways.
The community's name has most often been heard in "The Pukatawagan Song" by its resident, musical artist Sidney Castel.
