This is a partial list of ghost towns in New Mexico in the United States of America.
Ghost towns can include sites in various states of disrepair and abandonment. Some sites no longer have any trace of buildings or civilization and have reverted to empty land. Other sites are unpopulated but still have standing buildings. Still others may support full-time residents, though usually far less than at their historical peak, while others may now be museums or historical sites.
For ease of reference, the sites listed have been placed into one of the following general categories.
Barren site
Site is no longer in existence
Site has been destroyed, covered with water, or reverted to empty land
May have a few difficult to find foundations/footings at most
Neglected site
Little more than rubble remains at the site
Dilapidated, often roofless buildings remain at the site
Abandoned site
Building or houses still standing, but all or almost all are abandoned
No population, with the possible exception of a caretaker
