The Calapooia River is an tributary of the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. The Calapooia flows generally northwest from its source in the Cascade Range near Tidbits Mountain.

Further downstream, it flows through Holley then Crawfordsville and Brownsville in the Willamette Valley before joining the Willamette at Albany. The city of Tangent is also near the river on a branch of one of its downstream tributaries, Lake Creek.
