The Hood River, formerly known as Dog River, is a tributary of the Columbia River in northwestern Oregon in the United States.

It rises in three separate forks on the north side of Mount Hood, within the Mount Hood Wilderness in Hood River County which is approximately 50 miles (80 km) east of Portland.
