Gnadenhutten is a village located on the Tuscarawas River in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, United States and is Ohio's oldest existing settlement. The population was 1,288 at the 2010 census.

Gnadenhütten (proper spelling without umlaut ü is Gnadenhuetten) was founded as a settlement of German Americans and Lenape Native Americans affiliated with the Moravian Church. This community remained neutral during the American Revolutionary War, but ninety-six Lenape were massacred in 1782 in the Gnadenhütten massacre by American militia in retaliation for raids carried out by other bands.
