Kitanemuk traditional narratives include myths, legends, tales, and oral histories preserved by theKitanemuk people of the Tehachapi Mountains, southernSierra Nevada, and the westernMojave Desert of southern California.

Limited information has been published on Kitanemuk oral literature. More is like to be forthcoming from the papers ofJohn Peabody Harrington. Kitanemuk mythology seems to have shown influences from several of the group's neighbors, including the Kawaiisu, Chumash, and Yokuts. (See alsoTraditional narratives (Native California).)
