Wasauksing First Nation (formerly Parry Island First Nation; Ojibwe: Waaseyakosing, meaning "Place that shines brightly in the reflection of the sacred light") is an Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi First Nation band government whose reserve is located near Parry Sound in Ontario, Canada.

The reserve constitutes Parry Island in Georgian Bay. The island is about 19,000 acres (77 km²) with 78 miles (126 km) of lakeshore, making it one of the larger islands in the Great Lakes. The Wasauksing First Nation now occupies the entire island, although the ghost town of Depot Harbour on the island was historically a non-aboriginal settlement.
