Cape Lookout is a sharp rocky promontory along the Pacific Ocean coast of northwestern Oregon in the United States. It is located in southwestern Tillamook County, approximately {{convert|10|mi|km}} southwest of Tillamook, just south of Netarts Bay. The promontory extends {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} perpendicular to the coast, and is approximately {{convert|0.5|mi|km}} wide at its base, tapering as it extends outward from the coast. Cape Lookout State Park is located on the north side of the promontory, which is part of the Siuslaw National Forest. Cape Lookout Road travels past the base of the cape. Cape Lookout is a member of Tillamook's Three Capes Scenic Drive.[1]

The Cape Lookout Trail is a popular hiking trail, extending {{convert|2.5|mi|km}} through Sitka spruce forest to the tip of the promontory. The cliff-top hiking trail offers views of Cape Kiwanda and Cascade Head to the south as well as Cape Meares, Three Arch Rocks, and Neahkahnie Mountain to the north.[2] Migrating whales can also be seen, generally from December through June, as they pass the end of the cape.

During World War II, the cape was the location of a notable crash of a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. There was one survivor (the bombardier), Wilbur L. Perez. A plaque on the cape memorializes the victims of the crash, which occurred in 1943.
