Voodoo Doughnut is an independent doughnut shop based in Portland, Oregon, known for its unusual doughnuts, eclectic decor, and iconic pink boxes featuring the company logo and illustrations of voodoo priests. The company maintains two shops and a cart in Portland, and shops in Eugene, Denver, Austin, Universal City, and Taipei.

The company has about 70 employees and $600,000 in annual revenue. Unusually, the business only accepts cash payments (no debit, credit, or checks), though they do host ATMs. Voodoo Doughnut offers legal wedding services, complete with doughnuts and coffee for the reception. The Los Angeles Times noted that Voodoo is an international tourist attraction.

There are six locations. The original location opened in 2003 at 22 SW 3rd Avenue, just south of the Burnside Bridge, around the corner from Dan and Louis Oyster Bar, and adjacent to The Paris Theater, a historic adult movie house. Another location is just over a mile away at 1501 NE Davis Street which opened in June 2008, and one in Eugene, Oregon, that opened officially in June 2010. The flagship shop closed in April 2011 for an extensive remodeling, which utilized part of Berbati's Pan, the now-closed nightclub next door. It expanded from 750 square feet (70 m2) to 2,300 sq ft (210 m2) and reopened in June 2011.

In December 2013, the company opened its first location outside of Oregon on Colfax Avenue in Denver on Friday the 13th.

In March 2017, the company opened its first location in California at Universal CityWalk.

In addition to the examples below, vegan doughnuts are also featured along with a rotating and frequently changing menu of specialty doughnuts and unusual variations on traditional varieties. The company offers over 100 varieties, in total. Unconventional ingredients include Cap'n Crunch, grape flavored Tang, M&M's, Oreo cookies, and marshmallows.
