Yaquina is now a place-name native of the American state of Oregon.

It originally denoted a tribe of American Indians, now nearly extinct, along with their language (an Alsean language that is extinct), which is also known as Yakwina or Yakona. The remnants survive on the Siletz Reservation , Oregon, mostly of mixed blood.

Yaquina also denotes a bay in Newport, Oregon, and a lighthouse north of Newport.
