Piscataquis County is a county located in the U.S. state of Maine. As of 2000, the population is 17,235. Its county seat is Dover-Foxcroft6.

Piscataquis County was incorporated in 1838, taken from parts of adjacent Penobscot and Somerset counties. It is located at the geographic center of Maine. Originally, it extended north to the Canadian border, but in 1844, its northern portion was annexed back to Aroostook County. Piscataquis is one of the largest counties east of the Mississippi River and represents more than 10% of Maine's land mass.
