Stacy was an unincorporated town in Lassen County, California.[1] It is located 15 miles (24 km) north-northeast of Doyle,[2] at an elevation of 4016 feet (1224 m).[1] It was founded as a station on the Fernley and Lassen Railway in expectation of agricultural development of the area;[3] without irrigation, however, the area faded away.[4]

A post office operated at Stacy from 1912 to 1951.[2] The name honored Stacy Spoon, the wife of the postmaster.[2]
