Big Duck Ranch, also known as the Maurer Duck Farm, is a historic ranch located in Flanders, Suffolk County, New York. It operated as a duck ranch and retail store that sold duck products from 1936 to 1984. The principal building on the site is the separately listed Big Duck.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008[1] as part of plans to build a heritage park, picnic area, museum and rest stop.[3] The Big Duck Ranch hosts various events, such as historic car shows,[4] and is open year-round.[5]
