The Tawira Miskito are indigenous peoples of Nicaragua. They are a band of Miskito people and live in the southern part of the Mosquito Coast. They are also known as Tauira and Tawira. They speak the Tawira language. ^[1]

The Tawira are related to the Miskito Sambu, who intermarried with Africans who had shipwrecked on the coast in the mid-seventeenth century. The term is unattested before the early nineteenth century, though it may have come into existence before that time. ^[2]
