The Tulalip Tribes of Washington (/tʊˈleɪlɪp/, Lushootseed: dxʷlilap), formerly known as the Tulalip Tribes of the Tulalip Reservation, is a federally recognized tribe of Duwamish, Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skagit, Suiattle, Samish, and Stillaguamish people. They are South and Central Coast Salish peoples of Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Their tribes are located in the mid-Puget Sound region of Washington.

The Tulalip Indian Reservation, established by the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855, is located west of Marysville, Washington, in the Seattle metropolitan area. It comprises 34.7 square miles (90 km2) and includes Quil Ceda Village, a special municipality and economic development for the tribe.
