Sanpitch (killed April 18, 1866) was a leader of the Sanpits tribe of American Indians who lived what is now Sanpete County, Utah, before and during settlement by Mormon immigrants. He is the father of Black Hawk, for whom the Black Hawk War in Utah (1865–72) is named. In 1850, after measles from newly arrived Mormon settlers decimated their tribes, Walkara and Chief Sanpitch asked the Mormons to come to the Sanpete Valley teach the band to farm, though this was met with little enthusiasm. After fighting in the Black Hawk War, he was killed on April 18, 1866, near Fountain Green, Utah.
