The Wabanaki Confederacy is a North American Indigenous and European settler confederation of the five principal Eastern Algonquin nations (Mi'kmaq, Wolastoqey, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Abenaki) and the French speaking Acadians who settled throughout the region in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Members of the Wabanaki Confederacy, the Wabanaki, are located in and named for the area which they call Wabanakik, or the "Dawnland" in English. The French call these lands Acadia, and the British call it New Scotland. The Wabanaki often say they have lived on these lands since "time immemorial" and modern archaeology dates their arrival in the region to ~11,000 years before present.

The Wabanaki Confederacy is to an extent a democracy. At the local level, each community has a Womens Council, consisting of the female elders of the community. These women elect the regional chiefs. The elected chiefs of the Wabanaki nations then elect a Grand Speaker from amongst all the cheifs.

The lands of Wabanakik are today inhabited primarily by the Acadians, Indigenous Wabanaki, and the descendants of British settlers. There is a significant metis population from years of cross cultural contact between the Wabanaki and European settlers.
