Hemlock is an unincorporated community in Tillamook County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] It lies along U.S. Route 101 about 3 miles (5 km) north of Beaver.[2] Beaver Creek, a tributary of the Nestucca River, flows through Hemlock.[2]

According to Oregon Geographic Names, the community was named for the western hemlock tree, "which grows in great abundance in the Coast Range."[3] The post office in Hemlock operated from 1906 to 1921.[3]
