The Nowxs'a7aq language, also known as the Nooksack language, is a Coast Salish language spoken by the Nowxs'a7aq people of northwestern Washington state in the United States, centred in Whatcom County.

Nowxs'a7aq is most closely related to Sḵwxwú7mesh snichim (known in English as Squamish), the Shishalh (Sechelt) language (see sháshíshálh), and Halkomelem, which are all spoken in nearby parts of British Columbia, Canada.
