The Xakriabá were an indigenous group of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

One of the Gê peoples who spoke the Xakriabá dialect of the Akwe language, they lived in the Tocantins River area.[1]

In the 18th century, the Xakriabá settled in reservations (aldeias), and generally were accepted to be extinct as a social unit.[1] As of 1991, there were approximately 3,500 Portuguse-speaking people of Xakriabá descent, living in Mato Grosso area.[1]
