The Isabella Indian Reservation is the land base of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Council, located in Isabella County in the central part of the U.S. state of Michigan. There are also some small parcels of off-reservation trust land in Standish Township, Arenac County, near Saginaw Bay, southeast of the city of Standish. The reservation's total land area is 217.671 square miles (563.766 km²) and a population of 25,838 residents lived on its territory as of the 2000 census. The largest community on reservation land is Mount Pleasant, although only 8,741 of its 25,946 residents (33.7%) are on the reservation's side of the line that divides that city.

The tribe operates the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mount Pleasant.
