Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw[1][2] (IPA: [kʷäkʷɑkɑʔwäkʷ])[3] adalah penduduk asli pesisir Pasifik barat laut. Jumlah mereka saat ini kurang lebih adalah 5.500 jiwa. Sebagian besar tinggal di Pulau Vancouver utara dan pulau-pulau di sekitar Selat Johnstone dan Selat Ratu Charlotte. Beberapa juga tinggal di wilayah perkotaan seperti di Victoria dan Vancouver.
Bahasa mereka, Kwak'wala, kini hanya dituturkan oleh 5% suku Kwakwaka'wakw (sekitar 250 orang) dan terdiri dari empat dialek. Empat dialek tersebut adalah Kwak̓wala, ’Nak̓wala, G̱uc̓ala, dan T̓łat̓łasik̓wala.[4] Arti dari "Kwakwaka'wakw" adalah "orang yang menuturkan Kwak̓wala". Kwakwaka'wakw terdiri dari beberapa suku, yang kini terorganisasi secara politik dalam 13 band government.
