The Kowoj [koʔwox] (also recorded as ''Ko'woh, Couoh, Coguo, Cohuo, Kob'ow and Kob'ox, and Kowo'') was a Maya group and polity, from the Late Postclassic period (ca. 1250–1697) of Mesoamerican chronology. The Kowoj claimed to have migrated from Mayapan sometime after the city's collapse in 1441 AD. Indigenous documents also describe Kowoj in Mayapan and linguistic data indicate migrations between the Yucatán Peninsula and the Petén region.
