The Congaree were a historic Indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands who once lived within what is now central South Carolina, along the Congaree River.

The Congaree joined the Catawba people in company of the Wateree several years after temporarily migrating to the Waccamaw River in 1732.[2]

They spoke a language distinct from and unintelligible to local Siouan languages. The language today is unclassified, though, some linguists believe that the language was related to Catawba.
