Cleone (formerly Kanuck) is a census-designated place in Mendocino County, California, United States. It is located 3.25 miles (5.2 km) north-northeast of Fort Bragg on California State Highway 1, at an elevation of 79 feet (24 m). It most likely takes its name from Kelio, a division or village of the Pomo people. The population was 622 at the 2020 census.
The Kanuck post office opened in 1883, changed its name to Cleone in 1883, and closed in 1908. In 1883, a sawmill was constructed about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the village of Cleone. Wood products were shipped from a wharf at the place. Railroad cars ran down the hill to the chute by gravity and were returned by horses.
The main entrance to MacKerricher State Park is in Cleone.
