The Oregon Files is a long-running adventure thriller series created by Clive Cussler, following the crew of the Oregon, a covert operations ship disguised as a battered tramp steamer. The series began with Golden Buddha (2003) and has continued through twenty-one books with various co-authors, including Mike Maden who took over writing duties with Fire Strike (2023).

The books send Juan Cabrillo and his crew on missions around the world, typically involving lost treasures, international conspiracies, and high-seas action. Maden joined the Oregon Files after the deaths of both Clive Cussler and longtime co-author Boyd Morrison, continuing the series with Ghost Soldier (2024) and Quantum Tempest (2025). The series maintains its mix of naval adventure and espionage thriller across all its entries.
