Fort Severn First Nation (Swampy Cree: ᐗᔕᐦᐅ ᐃᓂᓂᐗᐠ, romanized: Waśaho Ininiwak) is a Western Swampy Cree First Nation band government located on the Severn River near Hudson Bay. It is the most northern community in Ontario, Canada. In 2001, the population was 401, consisting of 90 families in an area of 40 square kilometres. The legal name of the reserve is Fort Severn 89, with the main settlement of Fort Severn (Swampy Cree: ᐗᔕᐦᐅᐠ, romanized: Waśahohk; Severn Ojibwa: ᐙᔕᐦᐅᐤ, romanized: wâšahow).
