The Piro people /ˈpɪroʊ/ were a Native American tribe who lived in New Mexico during the 16th and 17th century. The Piros (not to be confused with the Piros of the Ucayali basin in Peru) lived in a number of pueblos in the Rio Grande Valley around modern Socorro, New Mexico, USA. The now extinct Piro language may have been a Tanoan language. Numbering several thousand at the time of first contact with the Spanish, by the time of the Pueblo Revolt in 1680 the Piro had been decimated by European-introduced diseases and Apache attacks and most of the survivors resettled near El Paso, Texas.
