Peguis (ca. 1774 – 28 September 1864) was a Saulteaux chief, who moved from the Great Lakes area to Red Lake (now in Minnesota), then arriving in what is now southern Manitoba in the 1790s.

However, by the 1850s, he had become concerned at illegal settlement by European migrants on traditional lands. He was sometimes called Cut Nose since his nose had been injured in a fight in 1802. His name is commemorated in the name of Peguis First Nation, Chief Peguis Trail (Winnipeg Route 17), and many organizations, place names, and institutions of Manitoba. (en)
