Rajneeshpuram era uma comunidade religiosa intencional no condado de Wasco, Oregon, incorporada como uma cidade entre 1981 e 1988. Sua população consistia inteiramente de Rajneeshees, seguidores do professor espiritual Rajneesh, mais tarde conhecido como Osho. Seus cidadãos e líderes foram responsáveis por lançar os ataques bioterroristas de Rajneeshee em 1984, bem como o plano de assassinato de Rajneeshee em 1985, no qual eles conspiraram para assassinar Charles Turner, o então procurador dos Estados Unidos para o Distrito de Oregon.
