塞阔雅（Sequoyah；切罗基语：ᏍᏏᏆᏱ）（约1767年 - 1843年7月或8月）为美洲切罗基印第安人银匠，曾为切罗基语发明音节文本。

由于未有书面文档存世，无人能够知晓塞阔雅确切之出生时地。历史学家推测他约为1760年至1776年间出生，地点则在田纳西州、格鲁吉亚州、北卡罗来纳州、阿拉巴马州或南卡罗莱纳州之一。著名人类学家穆尼（James Mooney）曾引述塞阔雅亲戚所言，认为塞阔雅早年时间皆与母亲在田纳西州塔斯基吉村落度过。

塞阔雅之名可能源自切罗基语「ᏏᏆ」（siqua），意为肉猪，一般据信与他的残疾有关，

Sequoyah (ᏍᏏᏉᏯ Ssiquoya, as he signed his name, or ᏎᏉᏯ Se-quo-ya, as his name is often spelled today in Cherokee) (c. 1770–1843), named in English George Gist or George Guess, was a Cherokee silversmith. In 1821 he completed his independent creation of a Cherokee syllabary, making reading and writing in Cherokee possible. This was one of the very few times in recorded history that a member of a pre-literate people independently created an effective writing system, (another example being Shong Lue Yang). After seeing its worth, the people of the Cherokee Nation rapidly began to use his syllabary and officially adopted it in 1825. Their literacy rate quickly surpassed that of surrounding European-American settlers.
