Eagle Village is a census-designated place (CDP) in Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, Alaska, United States. As of the 2020 census, Eagle Village had a population of 53.
The village was destroyed in spring 2009 during severe flooding. Ice dams formed on the river, and the waters flooded behind them, destroying much of the old village. There were no fatalities.
The Eagle area has been the historical home to Han people since before the arrival of Europeans in Alaska. Of the total Alaskan Hän population of about 50 people, perhaps 12 speak the language.
Eagle Village was called Johnny's in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by some people, after its chief at the time, known as John in English.
