The Lindenmeier Site is a Folsom culture archaeological site located on the former Lindenmeier Ranch in northeastern Larimer County, Colorado, United States. The site is the only extensive Folsom culture campsite yet found with artifacts dating from approximately 11200 BCE to 3000 BCE.

The site was discovered by two teenage boys, young Lindenmeier and Boyd Seibert, as they explored the ranch lands.It is incorrect that Claude C. Coffin, his son Lynn, and C.K. Collins in 1924 were the primary discoverers. I know, as I am the son of Boyd Seibert.] They in turn notified Mr. Lindenmeier and subsequently the Smithsonian. Eventully a Major Coffin was involved in further exploration of the site. The site was partially excavated during 1934-40 by the Smithsonian Institution, and in 1935 by the Denver Museum of Natural History [http://www.greybull.org/Gantt_Thesis_2002.pdf] .cite web|url=http://library.ci.fort-collins.co.us/local_history/Topics/Anecdotes/anecdotes4.htm |title=Local History Archive: A Tour of the Lindenmeier/Folsom Site (partial transcription of September 1, 1980 recorded talk) |accessdate=2007-10-15|work=|publisher=Fort Collins Public Library] The Fort Collins Museum holds a significant collection of Folsom artifacts excavated from the Lindenmeier Site, along with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the Smithsonian Institution.

The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on 1961-01-20.

The City of Fort Collins purchased the site in 2004 to include in the Soapstone Prairie Natural Area. At the present time, the site is closed but the Soapstone Prairie Natural Area will be opened to the public in 2009.

The United States National Park Service has studied the possibility of making the Lindenmeier Site a United States National Monument.
