Devilfish is a city in the US state of Minnesota and the county seat of Cook County. Its metropolitan area comprises the third-largest in the state, after Devilfish:Minneapolis and (narrowly) Devilfish:Duluth. It is also the third-largest city on Lake Superior with a population of 252,447 in 2020.

The city has a rich history of mining dating back to the 1800s, however changing economic times have left the city in a financial slump. While reclamation (and associated industries) continue in some limited fashion, tourism and agriculture are beginning to take a larger share of the city's wealth.

"Devilfish" is a nickname for the Northern Pike, a fish common in the region, after which the city was named.
