Endee is an unincorporated community on the route of historic Route 66 in Quay County, New Mexico, United States.{{cite gnis|898546|Montoya}}{{cite book |last=Hinckley |first=Jim |date=2012 |title=The Route 66 Encyclopedia |publisher=Voyageur Press |page=98 |isbn=978-0760340417}} The town was founded circa 1885 and named after the brand of the ND Ranch.{{cite book |last=Julyan |first=Robert Hixson |date=1998 |edition=revised |title=The Place Names of New Mexico |location=Albuquerque, New Mexico |publisher=University of New Mexico Press |page=124 }} A post office operated in Endee from 1886 to 1955. In 1952, Route 66 was rerouted so it bypassed Endee.

Endee was a supply center for ranches in the area. In 1946, the town consisted of a grocery store, a gas station with "modern restrooms" and a repair garage, a school, and a scattering of cabins.{{cite book |last1=Hinkley |first1=Jim |title=Ghost Towns of Route 66 |date=2011 |publisher=Voyageur Press |location=Minneapolis |isbn=978-0-7603-3843-8 |pages=94–97}}
