The Piscataway Indian Nation (/pɪsˈkætəˌweɪ/ or /pɪskəˈtɑːwə/,), also called Piscataway Indian Nation Inc. is a state-recognized tribe in Maryland that identifies as the descendants of the historic Piscataway people. The Piscataway Indian Nation organized out of a 20th-century revival of the Piscataway people and culture. It is one of three contemporary organized groups of self-identified Piscataway descendants.

On January 12, 2012, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley issued an Executive Order recognizing both the Piscataway Indian Nation and the Piscataway-Conoy Tribe of Maryland as Indian groups under a process established by the General Assembly. The Piscataway Indian Nation is not a federally recognized tribe.
