The Accokeek[2] were a group of Native Americans living in Southern Maryland at the time of English colonization.[3] They lived along the Potomac River in present-day Prince George's County, Maryland. They were an Algonquian-language tribe and were related to the Piscataway, another Algonquian-language tribe.[4]

Accokeek, Maryland, a small unincorporated town in Maryland, was named after the Accokeek[5] tribe.[6][7]

Accokeek means "at the edge of the hill".[8][clarification needed]
