}}Eightmile is an unincorporated community in Morrow County, Oregon, United States, on Oregon Route 206 (the Wasco–Heppner Highway), at an elevation of {{convert|2720|ft|m}}.[1]

The town was named by pioneer ranchers after its location on Eightmile Canyon, which was so named because its mouth was about {{convert|8|mi|km}} up Willow Creek from the Columbia River.[2][3] Eightmile's post office was established in 1883 and closed in 1941.[3]
