Calflax is an unincorporated community in Fresno County, California. It is located 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Coalinga, at an elevation of 276 feet (84 m).

Calflax was established in the mid-1930s when irrigated flax and cotton fields were planted in the once-barren west San Joaquin Valley. Calflax originally had a school, store, and cotton gin. In 1959, the University of California West Side Research and Extension Center was established on the site of Calflax. A few scattered residences remain at the site today.
