Die Copper River Census Area ist eine Census Area im US-Bundesstaat Alaska. Sie ist Teil des Unorganized Boroughs und hat deshalb keinen County Seat. Bei der Volkszählung im Jahr 2020 lebten hier 2617 Menschen.[1] Gebildet wurde sie 2019, als die Valdez-Cordova Census Area in die Copper River Census Area und die Chugach Census Area gespalten wurde. Das macht sie – neben der Chugach Census Area – zum neuesten County und County Equivalent der Vereinigten Staaten.
