The Kaqchikel (also called Kachiquel[2]) are one of the Indigenous Maya peoples of the midwestern highlands of Guatemala and of southern Mexico.

In Mexico, the Kaqchikel communities are located in the state of Chiapas, in the municipalities of Amatenango de la Frontera, Mazapa de Madero, Motozintla, Frontera Comalapa, El Porvenir and Villa Comatitlan, due to recent migrations, there are small Kaqchikel communities in the state of Campeche located in the municipalities of Campeche and Champotón.

Like the neighboring K'iche' (Quiché), they were governed by four lords: Tzotzil, Xahil, Tucuché and Acajal, who were responsible for the administrative, military and religious affairs.

The Kakchikel recorded their history in the book Annals of the Cakchiquels, also known as Memorial de Sololá.
