Nitta Yuma is a census-designated place and unincorporated community located in Sharkey County, Mississippi, United States. Nitta Yuma is located along U.S. Route 61, approximately four miles north of Anguilla.

The name "Nitta Yuma" is derived from the Choctaw language. The Choctaw had long occupied this area, for thousands of years before Europeans. The Vick and Willis families developed cotton plantations on Deer Creek after they were first surveyed and offered for sale by the federal government.

It was first named as a CDP in the 2020 Census which listed a population of 8.
