Wingina (c. 16th century – 1 June 1586), also known as Pemisapan, was a Secotan weroance who was the first Native American leader to be encountered by English colonists in North America.

[4] In one account, Wingina explained his tribal history, about a neighboring tribe at the mouth of the Neuse River, the Neusiok, referred to as the "Neiosioke" by Barlowe.

Wingina and his people attempted on several occasions to convince the English to join them in devising a surprise attack against the Neiosioke.

The Englishmen, uncertain of "whether their perswasion be to the ende they may be revenged of their enemies, or for the love they beare to us," declined to help the Secotans wage war against their rivals.

[6] Wingina was decapitated by one of Raleigh's men (at the time under the command of Sir Ralph Lane[7]), the Irish settler Edward Nugent, in the summer of 1586.
