Whitecap Dakota First Nation (Dakota: Wápaha Ská Dakhóta Oyáte) is a Dakota First Nations band government whose reserve is located 26 km (16 mi) south of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Governing the Whitecap Indian Reserve No. 94, historically referred to as the Moose Woods Sioux Reserve, it is bordered by the Rural Municipality of Dundurn No. 314 and located along Highway 219 between the South Saskatchewan River and CFAD Dundurn.

Chief Wapahaska (White Cap) and his band eventually settled along the South Saskatchewan River, and received a 16.774 km (6.476 sq mi) reserve in June 1881 despite not having signed a treaty. The First Nation has a registered population of 656 people as of March 2017; approximately 322 members of the First Nation live on-reserve and approximately 334 live off-reserve. The First Nation is led by Chief Darcy Bear and is affiliated with the Saskatoon Tribal Council.
