The Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain Fire Observation Station is a historic fire lookout tower on Poke-O-Moonshine Mountain at Chesterfield in Essex County, New York. The station and contributing resources include a 40-foot-tall (12 m), steel-frame lookout tower erected in 1917, a jeep trail that extends from the base of the mountain to a point below its summit, the remains of an observer's cabin possibly built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936, and a spring house. The tower is a prefabricated structure built by the Aermotor Windmill Company.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
