Faith Spotted Eagle (Dakota: Tunkan Inajin Win or Tȟuŋkáŋ Inážiŋ Win, pronounced [tˣũkã́ ináʒĩ win], lit.'Standing Stone'; born 1948) is an American activist and politician. She is a citizen of the Yankton Sioux Tribe who attempted to block development of the Keystone XL pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipeline.

In the 2016 presidential election, she became the first Native American to receive an electoral vote for President of the United States as well as one of the first two women of 3 total to receive one. Spotted Eagle's single vote came from Robert Satiacum Jr., a faithless elector in Washington, who cast it for her instead of Hillary Clinton.
