Saattoq (old spelling: Sâtoq) is a former settlement in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland. It was located in the north-central part of Upernavik Archipelago, in Tasiusaq Bay, straddling Saattorsuaq Island, and the nearby Saattoq skerry.
Saattoq was populated in 1881. It was a very small village of fewer than 10 people at any time. It was abandoned in 1957, during the post-war consolidation phase in northwestern Greenland, with the survuving population moving to nearby Nutaarmiut.
