Chak Tok Ich'aak I also known as Great Paw, Great Jaguar Paw, and Toh Chak Ich'ak (died January 15, 378) was an ajaw of the Maya city of Tikal. He took the throne on August 7, 360? and reigning until his death.

He is one of Tikal's best known kings, with his name recorded on a number of ceramic pieces and stelae. Stela 39 was produced to commemorate the K'atun ending in 376. It depicts the king standing upon a bound captive. His palace in the Central Acropolis, unusually, was never built over by later rulers, and was kept in repair for centuries as an apparent revered monument.

Stela 31 from Tikal records that he died on the same day that Sihyaj K'ahk' captured Tikal, probably killed by the Teotihuacano conquerors.
