納瓦荷（英語和西班牙語：Navajo、Diné）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。「納瓦荷」族名由西班牙人所起，族人則自稱為「Diné'」，即納瓦荷語「人」之意。
納瓦荷族也擁有現今美國面積最大的印地安保留地，部族政府稱為納瓦荷國，橫跨亞利桑那，新墨西哥和猶他三州，面積7萬平方公里。部族政府擁有地方自治權，首府設在亞利桑那州溫多羅克（Window Rock）鎮。
語言
納瓦荷族群有自己的語言納瓦荷語，沒有文字，只能口口相傳，其構成相當複雜，外族人幾乎無人能瞭解。因此，在太平洋戰爭中曾用於作為密碼進行明碼呼叫用，以讓日本軍無法破解美方密碼，至二戰結束時也沒有被破解。
