Cuyuxquihui is an archaeological site located in the Tecolutla valley of Veracruz, Mexico, in the region of the Totonac culture, about southeast of El Tajín or southeast of Paso de Correo.

The name of Cuyuxquihui is a composed word from the Totonaca language: cuyu, armadillo and quihui, wood and it points to the similarity of the local fauna to the shell of that animal.

This site is about southwest from Las Higueras (archaeological site), another Totonac site in the region.
