Die Occaneechi, auch Occoneechee, waren ein nordamerikanischer Indianerstamm aus der Sioux-Sprachfamilie. Sie waren sprachlich und kulturell mit den Stämmen der Saponi, Tutelo, Monacan, Manahoac, Shakori und anderen östlichen Völkern der Sioux verwandt, deren traditioneller Lebensraum in der Piedmont Region der Appalachen in den heutigen Bundesstaaten North Carolina und Virginia lag. Die Occaneechi lebten überwiegend auf einer rund 6,4 km langen Insel im Roanoke River nahe der heutigen Stadt Clarksville in Virginia. Die Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation wurde 2002 von North Carolina staatlich anerkannt und hat rund 700 Angehörige.
