Phoenix is a city in Jackson County, Oregon, United States.

Early residents included Milton Lindley, who operated a sawmill that provided timbers in 1855 for a blockhouse as well as a flouring mill owned by Sylvester M. Wait.

For a time, the settlement was known locally as Gasburg after a talkative employee in the kitchen serving the mill hands.
