Cahto[1] is a former settlement in Mendocino County, California.[2] It was located 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Laytonville.[2]

Cahto was founded by John P. Simpson and Robert White in 1856.[2] They built a hotel there in 1861, and a store in 1865.[2] A post office operated at Cahto from 1863 to 1901.[2] The Independent Order of Odd Fellows maintained Cahto Lodge No. 206 in the town as well, which met in a two-story hall constructed in 1872 that doubled as a public hall and meeting place.[3]

"Cahto" means "lake" in the language of the local Pomo people.[4]
