The Clatsop (in the original language, La t cap, meaning "placed of dried salmon) (Lā'k!ēlak, 'dried Salmon', F. Boas) are a small tribe of Chinookan-speaking Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. In the early 19th century they inhabited an area of the northwestern coast of present-day Oregon from the mouth of the Columbia River south to Tillamook Head.

Some of the remaining members now form an unofficial confederation with the Salishan-speaking Nehalem (Tillamook) tribe that once inhabited the area around Tillamook Bay. Other Clatsop descendants continue to maintain their culture and ceremonies as family and small community units, as in the past (Interview with Jeff Painter, 2001).
