Cupeño traditional narratives include myths, legends, tales, and oral histories preserved by the Cupeño people, of present-day inland San Diego County in Southern California.

Cupeño oral literature, including the creation myth, closely parallels that of Cupeño's Cahuilla linguistic kinsmen and of southern California Takic and Yuman groups in general.
