Kiowa (Ga-i-gwu) är en nordamerikansk ursprungsbefolkning som räknas till prärieindianerna. Namnet åsyftar ursprungligen bara en fraktion av stammen men har senare kommit att beteckna samtliga. Kiowaernas ursprungliga namn på sig själva är Kwu'da (”de går ut”), vilket anknyter till stammens skapelseberättelse enligt vilken de gick ut i denna värld från en stor ihålig trädstam.
