The Pacheedaht First Nation (lit.'People of the Seafoam', formerly Pacheena) is a band government of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation, based near Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. They are one of 14 Nuu-chah-nulth band governments, though they are not a member of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council.

The government has 4 reserve lands for a total of approximately 180 hectares: Pacheena #1, Gordon River #2, Cullite #3, Queesidaquah #4. As of March 2025, they have 301 registered band members, though only 97 live on reserve.

As of 2024, Pacheedaht, alongside the Ditidaht First Nation, is in stage 5 of the BC Treaty Process. They signed an agreement-in-principle in 2019, stating that the First Nation will have 1,897 hectares (18.97 km2) of land, including former reserve land.
