The Sourdough Mountain Lookout is a fire lookout that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. Constructed atop Sourdough Mountain in North Cascades National Park in Washington State, the lookout was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

An earlier lookout was erected at the site in 1917 but was torn down when the current lookout was constructed.

The current structure was built atop a rock foundation and is 14.25 ft (4.34 m) by 14.25 ft (4.34 m) square.

The walls are composed of shiplap siding and the structure is covered with a wood-shingled hip roof.

Diagonally-braced plywood shutters could be swung open for observation in each direction.

The structure is no longer used on a regular basis but is visited with some frequency by hikers and it is a 5 mi (8.0 km) hike to the cabin from the trailhead.
