Tok /ˈtoʊk/ is a census-designated place (CDP) in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, Alaska, United States.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 132.3 square miles (343 km2), all of it land.

Tok has a dry-winter continental subarctic climate (Köppen Dwc) with generally warm summers and severely cold winters.

Between 1954 and 1979, an 8-inch U.S. Army fuel pipeline operated from the port of Haines to Fairbanks, with a pump station in Tok.

[7] In July 1990 Tok faced extinction when a lightning-caused forest fire jumped two rivers and the Alaska Highway, putting both residents and buildings in peril.

At the last minute a "miracle wind" (so labeled by Tok's residents) came up, diverting the fire just short of the first building.

In another version the name is derived from the English words "Tokyo camp", although the major war benefit was supporting the transfer of airplanes to the Soviet Union.

Another version claims the name was derived from the canine mascot for one of the Engineer units that built the highways.

When originally being surveyed from the air, the map marking showed the "T" intersection, and the letters "OK" to confirm the location was suitable.

Therefore, once patients with serious medical conditions are stabilized, they are often airlifted to a hospital/medical center in Fairbanks (an approximately 1 hour 30 minute flight) if further treatment is needed.

The most common occupations in Tok are in the construction, healthcare, and accommodation industries.
