Dry Strait is an ocean strait separating Mitkof Island and Dry Island in Southeast Alaska, United States near the mouth of the Stikine River.

The strait received its name, presumably, due to the fact that it is often dry at low tide.

[2] The Stikine River Delta is continually expanding and depositing sediment on the ocean floor creating tidal flats throughout the strait.

Marine traffic between Wrangell and Petersburg generally uses the narrower Wrangell Narrows between Mitkof and Kupreanof Islands while larger vessels will avoid the Inside Passage completely here and take an open ocean route via Chatham Strait.
