Natuashish is an Innu community in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The community is inhabited by the Mushuau Innu First Nation. Natuashish became a federal Indian reserve in 2003.

Natuashish (Little Sango Pond) was established in 2002 as a planned community in the hopes of resolving the social problems that had plagued the prior community of Davis Inlet, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away. The population of Natuashish at the 2021 Census was 856, down from 938 in 2016.

Initial reports suggested that the Canadian government's plan of renewal and healing had been a failure. The government was accused of creating a system overburdened with bureaucracy, and not adequately addressing the issues. The local tribal band was accused of corruption.

Natuashish is inaccessible by road and may be reached only by air or sea. The community is served by the Natuashish Airport.
