English: The Orphan Lode Mine (1893−1969) — former mine located 1,800 feet (550 m) below the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.

Established as a copper mine in 1893, it became a uranium mine in 1951, yielding 13 million pounds of uranium until closing in 1969.
The mine's tall tramway headframe, and its adjacent Grand Canyon Inn, were formerly located between Grand Canyon Village and Hermit's Rest (ASU: OrphanMine).
