The Revillagigedo Channel is a channel of ocean between the Alaskan mainland in the east, Revillagigedo Island in the north, Duke Island, and Annette Island in the southwest. It lies in the Alexander Archipelago of southeastern Alaska, and extends 56 km (35 miles) northwest from the Dixon Entrance.

The channel is part of the Inside Passage to Ketchikan, Alaska.

It was named for Juan Vicente Güemes Pacheco de Padilla, Count of Revilla Gigedo, viceroy of Mexico (1789–1794) in 1793.
