Tr'ondëk-Klondike, Protected heritage area in Yukon, Canada.

Tr'ondëk-Klondike is a UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of eight protected areas in and around Dawson in Canada's Yukon. They lie in the traditional territory of the Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation, a Hän group, at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers. The site includes the traditional camp and fishing place Tr'ochëk and the historic gold-rush town of Dawson.

The Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in, a Hän First Nation, had their camp and fishing site Tr'ochëk at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers. From 1896 the Klondike Gold Rush brought over 100,000 people to the region, and Dawson arose near the confluence, a mining town with more than 40,000 inhabitants in 1898. This radically changed the Nation's land use, settlement patterns and economy. Canada listed the site on its tentative list in 2004, and UNESCO inscribed the eight areas as Tr'ondëk-Klondike in 2023.

The name Tr'ochëk means "mouth of the Klondike River" in the Hän language; it marks the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in camp and fishing site at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike. The UNESCO listing, granted in 2023, is meant to keep alive the memory of the displacement and marginalisation the gold rush brought to the Hän.

The region is best accessed through Dawson City, which serves as a gateway for exploring the different sites within the protected area. Visitors should be aware that winter is severe and many pathways have limited accessibility depending on the season.

The eight sites take their name from the Hän word Tr'ochëk, meaning "mouth of the Klondike River", the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in camp and fishing spot at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike. Canada placed the property on its tentative list on 1 October 2004, and UNESCO inscribed it during the 45th committee session in Riyadh in 2023.
