Multnomah Falls is a waterfall located on Multnomah Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, east of Troutdale, between Corbett and Dodson, Oregon, United States.

The waterfall formed around 15,000 years ago at the end of a hanging valley and was created by the Missoula Floods.
According to a legend from the Multnomah tribe (from whom the falls take their name), the waterfall was formed after a young woman sacrificed herself to the Great Spirit to save Multnomah village from a plague by jumping from the cliff, and the Multnomah peoples were saved. After her death, water began to flow from above the cliff, creating the waterfall.

It is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon at 620 ft (189 m) in height.
The falls drops in two major steps, split into an upper fall of 542 feet (165 m) and a lower falls of 69 feet (21 m), with a gradual 9 foot (3 m) drop in elevation between the two, so the total height of the waterfall is conventionally given as 620 feet (189 m).

The Multnomah Falls and the surrounding footpaths at the falls were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
