The Columbian white-tailed deer is a subspecies of white-tailed deer in North America. It pulls the origin of the name of the Columbia River which runs through Oregon up to Washington, where deer populations live. 

It lives usually near or in riparian areas. These regions are covered with poplar, willow, alder, spruce and dogwood. Unlike other white-tailed deer subspecies that can breed at 6 months, this deer begins to reproduce at 18 months. Females generally have a single fawn at a time.

This deer is recognized as an endangered species.
