The Cree are one of Canada's largest Indigenous peoples, with over 350,000 members across multiple distinct nations including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, and several others. The Cree matter as a major First Nations group in North America with significant historical presence and several closely related Indigenous nations, though their shared heritage and contemporary role in Canadian society make understanding them important to understanding the country's Indigenous landscape.

Les Cris (anglais : Cree ; langue crie : Nehiyawak) sont l'un des peuples algonquiens d'Amérique du Nord. Les Cris habitent au Canada et aux États-Unis, entre les montagnes Rocheuses et l'océan Atlantique. Avec plus de 317 000 membres répartis en près de 135 communautés, les Cris forment un des plus grands groupes de Premières Nations au Canada. En 2011, 95 000 locuteurs de la langue crie ont été dénombrés. Cette langue reste l'une des langues autochtones les plus parlées de l'Amérique du Nord. Connus pour leur ouverture au mariage inter-tribal, les Cris ont engendré une partie du peuple métis, descendants de l'union de Cries et de Français du Canada.
