The Summit Lake Paiute Tribe of Nevada is a federally recognized tribe of Northern Paiute Indians in northwest Nevada. Their autonym in their language is Agaipaninadökadö (Agai Panina Ticutta), meaning "Fish Lake Eaters." They are traditionally known as the "Fish Eaters."

The Summit Lake Paiute Tribe has a federal reservation, the Summit Lake Indian Reservation, at 41°31′27″N 119°03′08″W / 41.52417°N 119.05222°W / 41.52417; -119.05222 in Humboldt County, Nevada. The reservation was established in 1913 and is 12,573 acres (50.9 km2), with 10,098 acres (40.9 km2) of trust lands. At a remote northwest corner of Nevada, the tribe is the most isolated among the nine federally recognized tribes in the state.

In October 2016 a federal law was passed to put approximately 941 acres (3.81 km2) acres of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land into trust for the Tribe in order to expand their reservation; this was done under the Nevada Native Nations Land Act. Gaming is prohibited on the new lands.
