Nipissing First Nation (Ojibwe: Niipsing, meaning place of the elms[citation needed]) is a long-standing community of Nishnaabeg peoples located along the shorelines of Lake Nipissing in northern Ontario. They are referred to by many names in European historical records, since the colonists often adopted names given to them by other nations.

The Nipissing are part of the Anishinaabe peoples, a grouping of Algonquian-speaking peoples, which include the Odawa, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Algonquins. This broad heritage is likely the result of the Nipissings' living at a geographical crossroads, a watershed divide.
