納瓦霍人

納瓦霍（英語和西班牙語：、）是美國西南部的一支原住民族，為北美洲地區現存最大的美洲原住民族群，人口估計約有30萬人。「納瓦霍」族名由西班牙人所起，族人則自稱為「Diné'」，即納瓦霍語「人」之意。

納瓦霍族也擁有現今美國面積最大的印第安保留地，部族政府稱為納瓦霍國，橫跨亞利桑那，新墨西哥和猶他三州，面積7萬平方公里。部族政府拥有地方自治權，首府設在亞利桑那州温多罗克（Window Rock）鎮。

语言 
納瓦霍族群有自己的语言納瓦霍語，沒有文字，只能口口相傳，其构成相当复杂，外族人幾乎無人能瞭解。因此，在太平洋戰爭中曾用于作为密码进行明码呼叫用，以讓日本軍無法破解美方密碼，至二戰結束时也沒有被破解。
