The Lisburne Peninsula extends W, 100 km (62 mi), from a line between Cape Beaufort and Kivalina, into the Chukchi Sea. It separates Alaska's North Slope from the Kotzebue Sound. It is named for Cape Lisburne. Two sections of the Chukchi Sea unit of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge are located on the peninsula, one at Cape Lisburne and the other at Cape Thompson.
The Kukpuk River flows through the Lisburne Peninsula.
