The Yukon Order of Pioneers (Y.O.O.P.) is a Canadian fraternal society, formed at the Fortymile mining camp, Yukon Territory in 1894, first established under the elected leadership of Leroy Napoleon "Jack" McQuesten as a mutual protective organisation. Presently, there are two active lodges still in existence: Lodge No. 1 at Dawson City, Yukon Territory; and Lodge No. 2 at Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
