Abbott is a former community in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, United States, 11 miles northeast of Antlers.

Prior to Oklahoma's statehood, Abbott was located in Wade County, a part of the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation.

Abbott, Indian Territory was granted a United States Post Office on March 3, 1897; it closed on July 11, 1899. The community, a short-lived boomtown created by the logging industry—which used its rail spur to ship timber via the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway—is no longer in existence.

More information on Abbott may be found in the Pushmataha County Historical Society.
