We study gravitational waves (GWs) induced by non-Gaussian curvature perturbations. We calculate the density parameter per logarithmic frequency interval, $��_\text{GW}(k)$, given that the power spectrum of the curvature perturbation $\mathcal{P}_\mathcal{R}(k)$ has a narrow peak at some small scale $k_*$, with a local-type non-Gaussianity, and constrain the nonlinear parameter $f_\text{NL}$ with the future LISA sensitivity curve as well as with constraints from the abundance of the primordial black holes (PBHs). We find that the non-Gaussian contribution to $��_\text{GW}$ increases as $k^3$, peaks at $k/k_*=4/\sqrt{3}$, and has a sharp cutoff at $k=4k_*$. The non-Gaussian part can exceed the Gaussian part if $\mathcal{P}_\mathcal{R}(k)f_\text{NL}^2\gtrsim1$. If both a slope $��_\text{GW}(k)\propto k^��$ with $��\sim3$ and the multiple-peak structure around a cutoff are observed, it can be recognized as a smoking gun of the primordial non-Gaussianity. We also find that if PBHs with masses of $10^{20}\text{g}$ to $10^{22}\text{g}$ are identified as cold dark matter of the Universe, the corresponding GWs must be detectable by LISA-like detectors, irrespective of the value of $\mathcal{P}_\mathcal{R}$ or $f_\text{NL}$.
