Anderson Mesa (Navajo: Hosh Dikʼání[2]) is an approximately 5-long-mesa located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found., 20 miles southeast of Flagstaff, Arizona, east of Lake Mary and north of Mormon Lake, in Coconino County.

This mesa landform, at an elevation of 6,200–7,200 above sea-level,[1] has been the site of Lowell Observatory's Anderson Mesa Station since 1959. Because it is also very flat, it is also home to the Naval Observatory's Navy Precision Optical Interferometer, or "NPOI", since 1992.
