La Pine is a city in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States, incorporated on December 7, 2006. La Pine is part of the Bend, Oregon Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 2,512 people as of the 2020 Census. La Pine is in an isolated area of Central Oregon, consisting of a loose collection of homes and businesses along U. S. Highway 97 about 30 mile (48 km) southwest of Bend. Several peaks of the Cascade Range are prominently visible from the community. La Pine is in the valley of the Little Deschutes River, a tributary of the Deschutes River. The river provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, swimming, canoeing and other leisure activities.

The area's first European American settlement was established in the 1800s by French fur trappers. La Pine was founded in the 19th century with Huntington Road as the main street. The original name for the community was Rosland. A post office by that name was started in 1897, followed by a townsite in 1900. Construction on the Oregon Trunk Railroad started in 1908 by the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway at the Columbia River. The route was designed to follow the Deschutes River, and the line later became part of BNSF Railway. What became U. S. 97 was completed in 1917, which used the right of way of the Oregon Trunk Line that had not been built south of Bend. In the elections of 2006, another incorporation measure was placed on the ballot (one of two such measures in Oregon that year; the other being for Bull Mountain, Oregon). The measure passed, creating the City of La Pine. The city occupies 7 square miles (18 km2), and at the time of incorporation in December 2006, had 1,585 residents. Much of the former census designated area lies outside the city limits.

The city operates under a council–mayor form of city government. Voters elect four at large councilors who serve four year terms, and a mayor that serves two years. As of 2021, Daniel Richer served as mayor, with the other council members being Karen Morse, Courtney Ignazzitto, Mike Shields, and Cathi Van Damme. Fire services are provided by the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District, and the La Pine Library is a branch of the Deschutes Public Library System. At the federal level, La Pine lies in Oregon's 2nd congressional district, represented by Cliff Bentz. In the State Senate, the city is in District 28, represented by Dennis Linthicum, and in the House, it lies in District 55, represented by Vikki Breese Iverson.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.98 square miles (18 km2), all of it land.

The main road in the city is U. S. Route 97, which runs north south through the entire city. Oregon Route 31's northern terminus is approximately one mile south of the city limits. A rail line of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway also runs through La Pine, parallel to U. S. 97.
