Kangilinnguit (Danish: Grønnedal), is a Danish military outpost and location of a former Danish Naval base attached to the Island Command Greenland in the Sermersooq municipality, located at the mouth of Arsuk Fjord in southwestern Greenland. In 2012-2014, Kangilinnguit was closed and residual military functions moved to Nuuk. In 2017, the station became staffed again by three Danish soldiers.
Kangilinnguit and Ivittuut are connected by a road, which is roughly 5 km (3 mi) long.
