An Oregon Hand Volcanic Maul Mano is a Native American stone tool — specifically a mano (the handheld grinding stone) made from volcanic material (like basalt or lava rock), described as a "maul" (a term sometimes used for pounding or grinding stones) and emphasizing its hand-held nature, originating from or found in Oregon.

A mano is Spanish for "hand" and is a portable stone held in one or both hands to grind food (seeds, nuts, corn, acorns, etc.) against a larger stationary stone called a metate.

Volcanic rocks, abundant in Oregon due to the Cascade Range volcanoes (e.g., from ancient eruptions of Mount Mazama/Crater Lake area or other basalt flows), were commonly used for these tools because they are durable and abrasive.
