The Kalapuyan (also spelled Calapooya or Calapooia) are a Native American ethnic group that once inhabited the area present-day western Oregon in the United States. The Kalapuyans comprised eight related groups speaking three different languages of the Oregon Penutian family. They specifically inhabited the Willamette Valley, as well as the valley of the Umpqua River in Douglas County.
The Kalapuyan groups were:
- Tualatin
- Yamhill
- Pudding River (Ahantchuyuk)
- Luckiamute
- Santiam
- Mary's River (Chepenefa)
- Muddy Creek (Chemapho)
- Tsankupi
- Mohawk
- Chafan
- Long Tom (Chelamela)

In 1854 they ceded many of their lands to the United States under the Kalapuya Treaty in exchange primarily for money. The Calapooia River is named for the tribe.
