The Cuitlatec (alternatively Cuitlateco, Cuitlateca) were an Indigenous people of Mexico. They lived in the Río Balsas and Costa Grande regions of Guerrero state in Mexico's Pacific coast region, and this territory was called Cuitlatecapan in Nahuatl. Their native Cuitlatec language is generally considered to be a language isolate. Cuitlatec is considered extinct as a linguistic group and ethnic identity, the last speaker of the language having died in the 1960s.
