Packard is a ghost town in Whitley County, Kentucky, United States.

[2] The community was a coal town which served the Packard Coal Company; the community and the company were named after Whitley County school teacher Amelia Packard.

In 1917, during an extended national period of labor strife, a correspondent to the United Mine Workers Journal describing conditions in Packard stated that local miners had "only one store within two miles of us, and that is the company store, and we are eighteen miles from the main line, up a dark hollow surrounded by big mountains, and you can imagine how men have to live because of the ungodly prices we have to pay.
