The Accohannock Indian Tribe, Inc. is a state-recognized tribe in Maryland and a nonprofit organization of individuals who identify as descendants of the Accohannock people.
The Accohannock Indian Tribe is not federally recognized as a Native American tribe. The Maryland-based organization should not be confused with the American Indigenous Accawmacke Indians, an unrecognized nonprofit organization based in Cape Charles, Virginia.
The historic Accohannock people were an Eastern Algonquian–speaking tribe who lived on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. According to John R. Swanton they were a subdivision of the Powhatan.
