Latourell Falls is a waterfall along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, within Guy W. Talbot State Park.

The Historic Columbia River Highway passes nearby, and at certain locations the waterfall is visible from the road. Near the base of the falls, a parking lot and path were erected to assist visitors to the site.

Latourell is unique among the best-known Columbia Gorge waterfalls, in the way that it drops straight down from an overhanging basalt cliff. Most of those falls (even the famous Multnomah Falls) tumble to some degree.
