Haudenosaunee Konfederasyonu veya Iroquois Konfederasyonu olarak da bilinen Iroquois Konfederasyonu, yukarı New York eyaletinde bulunan beş (daha sonra altı) Kızılderili kabilesinin bir konfederasyonuydu. 17. ve 18. yüzyıllarda bölgedeki stratejik rol oynadı. İngilizce'de Five Nations (Beş Ulke) veya 1722'den sonra Six Nations (Altı Ulus) olarak da adlandırıldılar. 1722'den sonra ise Güneydoğu'dan gelen Tuscarora halkını kabul ederek altı ulus olarak bilinmeye başladılar.

Iroquois Konfederasyonu, 1700 yılındaki zirvesinde yaklaşık 12.000 kişilik bir nüfusa sahipti. Bu dönemde, Avrupalılar gelmeden önce "İrokuaz Ligi" olarak da biliniyorlardı.

"Iroquois" kelimesinin kökeni tartışmalıdır ve anlamı kesin değildir; ancak Algonquin dilinde "gerçek yılanlar" anlamına gelen "Irinakhow" kelimesinden türemiş olabilir. Algonquin kabileleri düşman kabilesi olanları yılanlar olarak tanımlıyordu.

Iroquois'leri bu kadar güçlü kılan şey ise politik organizasyon, devlet yönetimi ve askeri yeteneklerindeki üstünlükleriydi. 17. yüzyıl ortalarında, Hollanda yapımı ateşli silahlarla donanmış olan Iroquois Konfederasyonu birleşik güçlerini daha fazla hissettirmişti.
