The Kotzebue Basin is a medium Cenozoic rift-transtensional basin in west-central Alaska. This southern extension of the Hope Basin is bordered on the north by the western Brooks Range and the Kotzebue Arch, on the east by
folds, which separate it from the Kobuk-Selawik Basin to the east, on the south by western Brooks Range structures, and on the west by the U.S.–Russian national maritime boundary.
