The MOWA Band of Choctaw Indians is a state-recognized tribe, located in southwest Alabama, with a population largely based in southern Washington County and some membership in northern Mobile County.

The term MOWA is a portmanteau of Mobile and Washington Counties.^[5] They were formerly named the Mobile-Washington County Band of Choctaw Indians of South Alabama.^[1]

The MOWA Band of Choctaw claims to descend from Choctaw people who evaded Indian Removal in the 1830s and remained in Alabama.^[6] The Cherokee Nation includes the MOWA Band of Choctaw on its list of fraudulent tribes.^[7]
