Tawatoy or Young Chief, variously spelt as Tauitowe, Tauatui, Tauitau, Tawatoe or Tu Ah Tway, was a Cayuse headman.

Alongside his brother Five Crows, Tawatoy held sway over one of three major groupings of the Cayuse nation. Tawatoy died likely in modern Montana during 1853.[1] After Tawatoy's death, his nephew Weatenatemany, also known as Young Chief, ascended into prominence among the Cayuse.
