The Nonoalca were a group of people in Mesoamerica who played an important role in the Toltec culture. They are believed to have originally been from the southern gulf coast, and influenced by the Maya. They later adopted the Nahuatl language. According to some ethnohistoric accounts, they were the main ancestors of the Pipil and Nicarao of Central America.
The tribe's name was also given to a small sailing boat that was sailed across the Atlantic to Fenit harbour in Tralee Bay by Bill Verity.
