Post pattern also may refer to a particular American football strategy.

The Post Pattern refers either to a Paleo-Indian archaeological culture of artifacts found in northwest California dating between 9,000-12,000 years ago or to the peoples who left the artifacts behind. Excavation sites are around Clear Lake and Borax Lake.

It is believed that Post Pattern peoples were a pre-Hokan group. The entrance of peoples speaking (hypothetical) Hokan languages dates from about 6,000-8,000 years ago in what is know as the Lower Archaic Period. The Post Pattern is associated with the Yuki-Wappo family.

The pattern is named after Chester C. Post who in 1938 introduced it to the archaeological world.
