The Powhatan Renape Nation is a state-recognized tribe in New Jersey. It is not federally recognized as a Native American tribe. Members are concentrated in South Jersey and the Philadelphia metropolitan area.

The organization's founder and chief was Roy Crazy Horse, also known as Nemattanew or Roy Johnson. He obtained the land for the Rankokus Indian Reservation in 1974, which later became part of the Rancocas State Park.
