Tonina (ToninĂ¡ in the Spanish language) is a pre-Columbian archaeological site and ruined city of the Maya civilization located in what is now the state of Chiapas, Mexico, some 13 km (8.1 mi) east of the town of Ocosingo.

The site is medium in size, with groups of temple-pyramids. The largest is about 250 feet high. There is a large court for playing the Mesoamerican ballgame, and over 100 carved monuments, most dating from the Maya Classic Era from the 6th century through the 9th century.
