The Canisteo Living Sign is a historic civic project that also served as a navigational aid, located at Canisteo in Steuben County, New York. The sign consists of a set of 260 pine trees that spell out the name "Canisteo." They occupy a space approximately 90 feet long and 300 feet wide. The sign was originally laid out in 1933.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.^[1]

The sign can be seen as an unconventional form of hillside letters.
