Forest (also known as Forest City) is a small unincorporated community in Sierra County, California, United States.

Today, old buildings still line Main Street, such as a general store, a dance hall, a school house, and a church. The town is located at 4,489 feet (1,368 m) in elevation. Rich Brooks, the former Oregon Ducks Football and Kentucky Wildcats football head coach is a notable native of Forest, California [citation needed].
