Oyster Creek (Texas) is a river in Texas that rises north of Richmond in Fort Bend County and flows southeast to the Gulf of Mexico in Brazoria County. The creek is parallel to, and just east of the Brazos River. The entire stream no longer follows its natural course because the upper section empties into canals below Sugar Land. The lower section drains into the Intracoastal Waterway near Surfside Beach.
