Skamokawa (Template:IPAc-en) is an unincorporated community in Wahkiakum County, Washington, United States. Skamokawa Valley, a census-designated place (CDP), lies directly to the north. Skamokawa is a Chinook term for smoke or fog on the water.[1]

Skamokawa rests on the banks of the Columbia River, and on WA 4. The region's first American trading post was established near Skamokawa in 1844.[2]

The town includes a post office, restaurant, and general store, along with a nearby historical museum and covered bridge. Originally focused on logging, is now a local center for kayaking and fishing.
