希瓦罗人（英语：Jivaroan）,希瓦罗人是一群住在马拉尼翁河上游的群体，位在秘鲁的北部与厄瓜多尔的东部。希瓦罗人是用来指涉拥有此语系的族群。

希瓦罗人以猎人头与缩头术闻名，他们的猎人头活动通常一年一次并指对单一一个邻近村庄进行猎人头活动，杀掉男性和年老女性，俘虏年轻女子做为他们的妻子。当他们猎完人头会将这些人头做特殊处理，也就是所谓缩头术。

希瓦罗人也从事打猎活动，不论男性和女性都会参与其中。他们使用吹箭和涂上毒药的镖和箭来打猎，通常猎物是猴子或是鸟类。但希瓦罗人并不依赖打猎来生存。

Jivaroan peoples refers to groups of indigenous peoples in the headwaters of the Marañon River and its tributaries, in northern Peru and eastern Ecuador. These groups identify speakers of distinct languages of the language family of the same name.

The Jivaro people are famous for their head-hunting raids and shrinking the heads from these raids. These head-hunting raids usually occur once a year in one particular Jivaro neighborhood. These raiding parties usually only attack one homestead per raid, killing the men, spearing the older women to death, and taking younger women as their brides. Once the heads have been collected they are shrunk by cutting the skull vertically and removing the skull and jaw bone. Then, the head is boiled and later mixed with hot gravel and sand, shrinking the head to the size of a large orange. The head is sewn along the lips, which are blackened with charcoal.
