The Teeland's Country Store, originally known as Herning's Knik Trading Post, is a historic retail establishment now located at the corner of East Herning Avenue and North Boundary Street in Wasilla, Alaska. The oldest portion of this wood-frame building is from 1905. It was initially located in Knik but was moved to the newly established town of Wasilla in 1917 by its builder, O. G. Herning. The business was purchased by Walter and Vivian Teeland in 1947, giving it its present name. In 1972 the store was purchased by Jules and Leslie Mead.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1986 the Meads donated the building to the Wasilla-Knik-Historical Society.
