The Doerner Fir, also known as the Brummitt Fir, is a record-setting Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) in Oregon, is one of the tallest known trees in the world which is not a redwood (Sequoioideae), at 327 feet (99.7 m).^[2]

The Doerner Fir was previously measured in 1991 at 329 feet (100.3 m) tall but had lost 2 feet (0.6 m) as of the latest measurement, in 2008.^[3] It is approximately the same height as Centurion, a specimen of Eucalyptus regnans located in southern Tasmania, and as the tallest known specimen of Yellow meranti found in Borneo.^[4]

The tree grows in a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) forest in Coos County.^[2]^[5] The tree was previously named the Brummitt Fir after its drainage until it was renamed in honor of Ray Doerner, a Douglas County commissioner and longtime BLM employee.^[3]
