The qilaut (Inuit language: "that by means of which the spirits are called up," syllabic: ᕿᓚᐅᑦ), (Inuinnaqtun: qilaun or qilauti or Greenlandic: qilaat) is a type of frame drum used by Inuit cultures in the Arctic.

This drum is used in Inuit music. It is different because it has a handle and is made from caribou skin. Caribou skin does not make a loud sound, so the drum produces a dull, rumbling noise.

The frame of the drum, along with a stick called the qatuk (katsuun / katuut / katuuti), and the action of beating the drum is called katuktuq. Many dances, called qilaujjaqtuq, also include singing, which is called ingiuqtuq or pihiq. The person who dances is called qilaujjaqtuq.

Every year, Nunavut, Canada, holds a songwriting contest called Qilaut to honor Inuktut music.
