Excursion Inlet (Lingít: Ḵuyeiḵ’ L’e.aan) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Haines Borough in the U.S. state of Alaska.

The CDP extends north to the boundary of Glacier Bay National Park near the head of Excursion Inlet, south to the mouth of Excursion Inlet, and east to the crest of the Chilkat Range.

Excursion Inlet was originally an Alaska Native settlement, one of several locations where the Huna Tlingit[7] dispersed around 1750 (Little Ice Age) when the glaciers of present day Glacier Bay Basin advanced into Icy Strait.

During the early stages of American involvement in World War II, the United States Army built a major barge terminal at Excursion Inlet.

Capable of handling large ocean-going cargo ships and intended to be manned by thousands of soldiers, the terminal was built to serve as a logistics base for the Army's efforts to liberate the Aleutian Islands from their Japanese invaders.

When the facility's existence became public knowledge in early 1945, newspapers decried it as a wasteful boondoggle, and the Army opted to quietly shut it down.

German prisoners of war were later brought in to dismantle the base and salvage usable materials.
