西点林鸮（学名Strix occidentalis）是一种猫头鹰。它们是北美洲西部森林的留鸟，会住在树穴、猛禽的旧巢或石缝。鸟巢会筑在12-60米高，每次一般会生2只蛋。它们是完全夜间活动，主要吃细小的哺乳动物及鸟类。

西点林鸮长43厘米，翼展114厘米及重约600克。鸟蛋长约5厘米，呈白色，表面光滑。雌鸟会负责孵化及照顾幼鸟，而雄鸟则会觅食。幼鸟的平均生存率为11%，平均出生率为每对有0.58只幼鸟。

西点林鸮有3个亚种，包括北方斑点鸮（Strix occidentalis caurina）、指名亚种（Strix occidentalis occidentalis）及墨西哥西点林鸮（Strix occidentalis lucida）。吉拉荒野保护区（Gila Wilderness）是墨西哥亚种最大群落的家园。

The spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) is a species of true owl. It is a resident species of old-growth forests in western North America, where it nests in tree holes, old bird of prey nests, or rock crevices. Nests can be between 12 to 60 metres (39 to 197 ft) high and usually contain two eggs (though some will contain as many as four). It is a nocturnal owl, which feeds on small mammals and birds. Three subspecies are recognized, ranging in distribution from British Columbia to Mexico. The spotted owl is under pressure from habitat destruction throughout its range, and is currently classified as near threatened.
