The Waitukubuli National Trail (or WNT) is a hiking trail spanning the island of Dominica. It is the longest hiking trail in the Caribbean, at 115 miles (185 km) long. Its name comes from the original Kalinago name of the island, Waitukubuli, meaning "tall is her body". The trails’s management falls under Dominica's Forestry Division.

The trail was partially opened in 2011, and officially opened in 2013. As of July 2013, all visitors and non-residents need a paid trail pass to access the Waitukubuli National Trail.
