The Foidel Canyon School, in Routt County, Colorado northwest of Oak Creek, Colorado, is a one-room schoolhouse built in 1923. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]

It has also been known as Twentymile School. The schoolhouse is a one-story building about 25 by 35 feet (7.6 m × 10.7 m) in plan, built on a stone rubble foundation. It has a partially enclosed belfry but the bell was gone before 1982.[2]

Two additional contributing buildings were a teacherage and a coal shed.[2]
