Don Andrés de Tapia Motelchiuh Huitznahuatlailótlac, also known as Motelchiuhtzin, was the ruler of Tenochtitlan (1525–1530).

Motelchiuhtzin was not of the upper classes; he was born as a "macehualli" or working commoner, but he had gained renown as a warrior captain.

He was captured together with Cuauhtémoc, and tortured along with him to reveal the location of the Aztecs' gold.

During his rule, the Aztec titles and decorations were suppressed by the Spanish rulers.
