The abbreviation for Alaska is AK. It's part of the two-letter codes adopted by the United States Postal Service (USPS) to refer to each state, with the aim of making mail sorting more efficient. These codes have been used since 1963. So if you're mailing a letter or trying to remember all 50 states, remember - Alaska is AK!
