Numaga (c. 1830 – November 5, 1871) was a Paiute leader during the Paiute War of 1860 that centered on Pyramid Lake in what is now Nevada in the United States.
The war was caused by an influx of miners and ranchers after silver was discovered in the Comstock Lode near to Carson City.
The newcomers assaulted the Paiutes and destroyed their foods supplies.
When the Paiutes responded, the U.S. Army used force to suppress them.
Both before and after the war, Numaga was a strong advocate of peace and did much to reduce the violence on both sides.
He died of tuberculosis, a "white man's disease", in 1871.
