The Natú were an indigenous group of Brazil, living in the Northeast Region. They are very poorly known and it is not even known where their original homeland was.[1]

The Natú language is thought to be an isolate,[2] but only 18 words of it are known. This is insufficient to determine its linguistic affinity.[1]
