Pelican City is an unincorporated community in Klamath County in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] It lies along U.S. Route 97 just north of the city of Klamath Falls near the south end of Upper Klamath Lake and the upstream end of the Link River.[2]

The community is named after the Pelican Bay Lumber Company, which had a mill here.[3] Pelican Bay is part of the same lake but at its far northwest end.[3]
