The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, formerly known as the Stillaguamish Tribe of Washington, is a federally recognized tribe of Stillaguamish people located in Snohomish County, Washington. They are descended from the aboriginal Stillaguamish, listed on the Treaty of Point Elliot as the Stoluck-wa-mish River Tribe.

Although the Stillaguamish had existed for thousands of years prior, the Stillaguamish Tribe as it is today was founded on January 31, 1953, when the tribe ratified its constitution. The tribe eventually petitioned for federal recognition in 1974, which they received two years later in 1976. In 2014, the tribe was finally granted a reservation.

The Stillaguamish Tribe is governed by the Stillaguamish Tribal Council, which carries out the administrative duties of the tribe. The tribe operates several businesses and services, both on and off the reservation.
