Window Rock, known in Navajo as Tségháhoodzání (pronounced [tsʰéɰáhòːtsání]), is a city and census-designated place that serves as the capital of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American tribe by both land and tribal enrollment.^[3] The capital lies within the boundaries of the St. Michaels Chapter, adjacent to the Arizona and New Mexico state line. Window Rock is the site of the Navajo Nation governmental campus, which contains the Navajo Nation Council, Navajo Nation Supreme Court, the offices of the Navajo Nation President and Vice President, and many Navajo government buildings.

Window Rock's population was 2,500 at the 2020 census.^[4] It is estimated to reach around 20,000 during weekdays when tribal offices are open.^{[citation needed]}

Window Rock's main natural attraction is the window formation of sandstone (Entrada Sandstone) which the community is named after. The Navajo Nation Museum, the Navajo Nation Zoological and Botanical Park, and the Navajo Nation Code Talkers World War II memorial are tribal attractions located in Window Rock.
