The Enoch Cree Nation #440 is a First Nations band in Alberta that is part of the Cree language group. It is also part of the Treaty Six Confederacy.

The band controls two reserves – the larger Enoch Cree Nation 135 Indian Reserve west of, and adjacent to, the City of Edmonton, and the smaller Enoch Cree Nation No. 135A Indian Reserve 43 km (27 mi) south of the Town of Barrhead.^[2] Approximately 1,690 band members live on the larger reserve, while others reside elsewhere within the Edmonton Metropolitan Region. The registered total population of the band was 2,789 in June 2019.^[3]

The band is currently^[when?] in negotiations with the Canadian Crown regarding land claim settlements and the use of reserve land by the Department of Defence as a bombing range during the Second World War. In October 2006 the Enoch Cree Nation opened the River Cree Resort and Casino, a $210-million^{[citation needed]} casino, hotel and sports complex located on the northeast corner of the larger reserve, adjacent to the City of Edmonton.
