}}McEwen is an unincorporated community in Baker County, Oregon, United States.[1] McEwen lies on Oregon Route 7 east of its interchange with Oregon Route 410.[2] McEwen is about {{convert|6|mi|km|0}} southeast of Sumpter along the Powder River.[2]

McEwen was founded as a logging town, platted in 1891, and then was a rail stop on the Sumpter Valley Railway.[3] It was named after a Mormon missionary who converted Charles W. Nibley's parents to the LDS Church.[4]

Oregon Geographic Names links the community name to Thomas McEwen, a settler who filed a land claim here in 1888. The McEwen post office opened in 1893 and closed in 1943.[5]
