Deadwood is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States. It is located on Oregon Route 36, in the Oregon Coast Range.

Deadwood was named after Deadwood Creek, a tributary of the Siuslaw River. Deadwood Creek was so-named because of the dead timber snags next to its banks, which had resulted from a series of wildfires in the area.[1] Deadwood post office was established in 1884.[1] The post office was discontinued to the community of Greenleaf in 1914, but was reestablished in 1950.[1]

Deadwood is the home of Alpha Farm, an intentional community established in 1971.[2] The farm owns the Alpha Bit, a café and book/gift store in Mapleton.[2] Other residents include the artists Ernie and Mary Lou Goertzen who lived in the old Deadwood schoolhouse from 1975.[3]
