Kayenta is a census-designated place which is part of the Navajo Nation and is in Navajo County, Arizona, USA. The population was 4,922 at the 2000 census. Kayenta is located immediately south of Monument Valley (some of the buttes of which are visible from Kayenta's streets) and contains a number of hotels and motels which service visitors to the valley. Like other places in the Navajo Nation, it is illegal to serve alcohol in Kayenta.

Kayenta Township is the only incorporated municipality in the Navajo Nation. It is managed by a five-member elected town board, which hires the township manager.

Kayenta is the name for the Chapter, as well as the township. Kayenta Chapter (a political division within the Navjao Nation that is analogous to a county within a state) encompasses land in both Utah and Arizona. Thus, the Navajo Nation's census figures for Kayenta Chapter are significantly different from those of "Kayenta CDP."

Kayenta is a thriving town well situated to serve as your base for exploring many of the State's National and Navajo National Parks in Northern Arizona. Located at the intersection of U.S Highway 160 and 163, Kayenta lies within a 30-minutes drive from the spectacular monolithic red sanstone formations of world-renowned Monument Valley, UT. Camping and hiking areas abundantly accompany various hot spots surrounding Kayenta in conjunction with the entire reservation.
