The Saranac Inn was a hotel, built in 1864, at the northern end of the Upper Saranac Lake in the town of Santa Clara in the Adirondack Park in New York State, USA. It continued in operation until 1962, and burned to the ground in 1978.

The hotel accommodated two hundred and fifty guests, and was frequented by US Presidents Grover Cleveland and Chester A. Arthur and New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes. The small collection of cottages that grew up around the Inn (the first dozen were built by the Inn owners) still exists, however, as do some of the Great Camps built in the area. World War I, the Great Depression and the Income Tax combined to put an end to the Great Camp era, however; and the Inn, along with many of the Great Camps, was abandoned and/or lost for unpaid taxes, burned or left to crumble.

The name continues to be used, and refers to the small hamlet that grew up in the vicinity of the Inn, and to the public golf course that was originally part of the Inn. The par 72 Saranac Inn Golf Club was recognized by Golf Digest as one of four U.S. courses that are one hundred years or older that received four and a half stars.
