Moccasin is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Mohave County, Arizona, United States. It is within the Kaibab Indian Reservation, and its population was 53 as of the 2020 census, down from 89 at the 2010 census. It is bordered to the south by the CDP of Kaibab.

It is believed a moccasin-shaped shoe-print by a nearby spring caused the name to be selected.{{Cite book |last=Moyer |first=Armond |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89058322223;view=1up;seq=89 |title=The Origins of Unusual Place-Names |last2=Moyer |first2=Winifred |publisher=Keystone Pub.
