'''Wrigley''' ([[Slavey language|South Slavey language]]: ''Pehdzeh Ki''{{Pronunciation needed|date=May 2024}} "clay place") is a "Designated Authority"<ref>[http://www.maca.gov.nt.ca/resources/Differences_in_Comm_Govt_Structure.pdf Differences in Community Government Structure]</ref> in the [[Dehcho Region]] of the [[Northwest Territories]], Canada. The [[Slavey]] [[Dene]] community is located on the east bank of the [[Mackenzie River]], just below its confluence with the [[Wrigley River]] and about {{convert|466|mi|abbr=on|0}} northwest of [[Yellowknife]].

Originally situated at Fort Wrigley, {{convert|16|km|abbr=on}} downstream, the community relocated to its present location in 1965, in part because it was more easily accessible due to the World War II era [[Wrigley Airport]] built for the [[Canol Road|Canol Project]] and also due to the swampy nature of the land around Fort Wrigley.<ref name="specnwt">[https://spectacularnwt.com/destinations/dehcho/communities/wrigley Wrigley at Spectacular NWT]</ref><ref>[http://www.statsnwt.ca/community-data/infrastructure/Wrigley.html Wrigley] at the GNWT</ref> Today the community can be reached via the [[Mackenzie Highway]]. The population continues to maintain a traditional lifestyle, trapping, hunting, and fishing.

The community was named for Joseph Wrigley who was the [[Hudson's Bay Company]] Chief Commissioner for British North America (1884–1891).<ref name="specnwt"/><ref>[http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/people/wrigley_j.shtml Memorable Manitobans: Joseph Wrigley (1839-?)]</ref>

The [[Franklin Mountains (Northwest Territories)|Franklin Mountains]], which are also on the east bank of the Mackenzie River, overlook the community. Cap Mountain, {{convert|1228|m|abbr=on}}, is the highest peak in the range and is within walking distance of the community. Although not as well known as the [[Rabbitkettle Hot Springs]] the Roche qui trempe a l’eau sulphur springs are located downstream of Wrigley.<ref name="specnwt"/>
