Dead Negro Draw is a valley in Garza and Lynn counties, Texas, in the United States. When wet, the valley contains a stream which runs 3 miles (4.8 km) until it reaches the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River.

It was originally called Dead Nigger Creek until the present name was adopted. Both names probably commemorate the Buffalo Soldier tragedy of 1877. The name is descriptive of violence which was common on the American frontier.
