Custer is a ghost town in Custer County, Idaho, United States. Established in 1877, it is at

44°23′15″N 114°41′45″W / 44.38750°N 114.69583°W (44.3874133, -114.6959118), at an elevation of 6,470 feet (1,972 m).^[2] It lies along Yankee Fork Road southwest of the city of Challis, within the Challis National Forest.^[3]

In 1981, the community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. Although the district covers 29 acres (12 ha), only seven buildings retain enough historic integrity to qualify as contributing properties.^[1]

Most of Custer is now included in the Land of the Yankee Fork State Park, which also includes the nearby historic Yankee Fork gold dredge.
