The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America is a book by American-Canadian author Thomas King, first published in 2012 by Doubleday Canada. It presents a history of Indigenous peoples in North America. The book has been adapted into a documentary film titled Inconvenient Indian directed by Michelle Latimer, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2020.
Although King claimed to be of partial Cherokee descent when The Inconvenient Indian was published, King accepted findings by genealogists that he has no Indigenous ancestry in 2025.
