Blackfoot River Wildlife Management Area at 2,400 acres (9.7 km2) is an Idaho wildlife management area in Caribou County near the town of Soda Springs. The location of the WMA along the Blackfoot River was purchased by John Jay Stocking in 1907 and then by the Conservation Fund in 1994, which sold it to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

The WMA was established to provide access to and improve westslope cutthroat trout habitat and other game species. Moose, elk, and mule deer are the most common large game species found in the WMA.
