The Miami, or Myaamia, are a tribe of American Indians that, in the 18th century and before, lived on lands in present-day Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan. Although they were sometimes referred to as Twightwees by French and English colonists, many scholars believe that this is a name given to them by other American Indian tribes, rather than a name that the Miami people used for themselves. Although British officials did try to forge an alliance with the Miami people during the French and Indian War, the Miami allied themselves with the French instead but were not involved extensively in the war.

Britain's victory in the French and Indian War brought more European colonists into Miami land, and in the 19th century, the U.S. government forcibly removed many members of the Miami nation from their historic homelands, first to Kansas and then to present-day Oklahoma. Today, the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma are a federally recognized tribe. A second group, the Miami Nation of Indiana, have also sought federal recognition, though, as of 2022, unsuccessfully.
