Eticuera Creek is one of four primary tributaries that drain into Lake Berryessa in northern Napa County, California.[1] The other three being Pope Creek, Capell Creek, and Putah Creek.

Eticuera Creek drains a watershed that is approximately 53 square miles. The creek generally drains in a north to south direction.

The upper reaches of the watershed also once supported the now defunct mining town of Knoxville, Ca.[2]
