Nahanni Butte (Slavey language: Tthenáágó "strong rock") is a "Designated Authority"[6] in the Dehcho Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The community is located at the confluence of the Liard and South Nahanni Rivers in the southwestern part of the NWT.

Although not normally accessible by road a winter road is constructed yearly and an all-season road is being built.

Canadian wilderness author, trapper, bush pilot, riverboat captain, trading post/store owner; Dick Turner made Nahanni Butte his home from Calgary in the early 1930's. Dick Turner wrote three books, "Nahanni" and "Wings of the North" being the most successful.

Population is 115 according to the 2006 Census.[7] In 2009 the Government of the Northwest Territories reported that the population was 120 with an average yearly growth rate of 3.7 from 1996.[5]

The Dene of the community are represented by the Nahanni Butte Dene Band and belong to the Dehcho First Nations.[8]
