The Mack Canyon Archeological Site (Smithsonian trinomial: 35SH23[2]) is a prehistoric archeological site in Sherman County, Oregon, United States. Consisting of an extensive series of pit houses in a sheltered canyon, the site was occupied seasonally in winter by Columbia River tribes for about 7,000 years from after 5000 BCE to the early 19th century CE.[3]

The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[2]
