Taíno var en folkgrupp som vid spanjorernas ankomst till Västindien levde på Stora Antillerna; Kuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica och på Bahamas. Taíno var nära besläktade med arawakerna, en folkgrupp som i dag lever längs Orinocos nedre lopp i Sydamerika och längs kusten österut från dess mynning. Innan tainoerna kom, var öarna bebodda av ett primitivt folkslag som tainoerna kallade guanahatabeyer. Dessa drevs så småningom iväg, och vid spanjorernas ankomst till öarna 1492 fanns guanahatabeyerna kvar bara längst i väst på Kuba och på Hispaniolas sydvästliga halvö. Cuba är tainoernas eget namn på den största ön. Den ö som spanjorerna döpte till Hispaniola, i dag delad mellan staterna Haiti och Dominikanska republiken, hade tainoerna flera namn på; både Hayti, Bohio och Cibao, medan Puerto Rico kallades Borinquen. Bahamas omtalades som Lucayos.
