Isleta Pueblo (IPA:is a Pueblo in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, United States, originally established around the 1300s. The pueblo people are from the Tiwa (Spanish: Tigua) ethnic group of Native Americans who speak the Southern Tiwa language. Isleta Pueblo is located in the Rio Grande Valley, 13 miles (21 km) south of Albuquerque. The name Isleta is Spanish for "little island". The Spanish Mission of San Agustín de la Isleta was built in the pueblo in 1612 by Spanish Catholic Franciscans. During the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, many of the pueblo people fled to Hopi settlements in Arizona, while others followed the Spanish retreat south to El Paso del Norte (present-day Ciudad Juárez, Mexico). After the rebellion, the Isleta people returned to the Pueblo, many with Hopi mates. Later in the 1800s, friction with members of Laguna Pueblo and Acoma Pueblo, who had joined the Isleta community, led to the establishment of the satellite settlement of Oraibi. Today, as well as the main pueblo, Isleta is comprised of the small communities of Oraibi and Chicale.

Today, the pueblo operates the Isleta Casino & Resort, Isleta Eagle Golf Course and Isleta Lakes Recreational Complex.
