The Fort Apache Indian Reservation in Arizona, United States, is an Indian Reservation encompassing parts of Gila County, Apache County, and Navajo County. It is home to the Western Apache White Mountain Apache Tribe. It has a land area of 6,805.474 km² (2,627.608 sq mi) and a population of 12,429 people as of the 2000 census.

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation is covered mostly by pine forests and is home to forest wildlife. It is located directly south of the Mogollon Rim. The highest point in the reservation is Baldy Peak, which stands at 11,403 feet.
