The Sakapulteko (also spelled Sakapultek, Sacapulteco, Sacapulteko or Sakapultecos) are an indigenous Maya people group who primarily reside in the municipality of Sacapulas in the department of Quiché, Guatemala.   They are also found in Chinique and Cunén.

They are descendants of the ancient Maya civilization that flourished in the Guatemalan highlands.
