Chief Peo-peo-mox-mox, drawing by Gustav Sohon, 1855

Piupiumaksmaks (alternatively spelled Peo-peo-mox-mox or Peopeomoxmox; c. 1800 – 1855) was head chief of the Walla Walla tribe and son to the preceding chief Tumatapum. His name meant Yellow Bird, but it was often mistranslated as Yellow Serpent by Europeans.
