The Big Shaheen Cabin, in the Admiralty Island National Monument near Angoon, Alaska, is a historic log cabin that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935. Also denoted as 49SIT-019, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995; the listing included the cabin and three other contributing structures.

It was built as part of the Admiralty Island Civilian Conservation Corps Canoe Route. The cabin is made of 10-inch (250 mm) logs and its gable roof has a six-foot overhang at the front to make a porch. There are three "culturally modified" trees in the area.
