Oyster Creek (Texas) is a river in Texas that rises north of Richmond in Fort Bend County and originally flowed southeast to the Gulf of Mexico in Brazoria County. The creek is roughly parallel to, and just east of, the Brazos River. Portions of the stream no longer follow their natural course because in Missouri City the upper section has been partially channelized, ultimately connecting with the Brazos River via a short segment of Steep Bank Creek. The lower section continues on its meandering path from about a mile southeast of Steep Bank Creek, draining into the Intracoastal Waterway near Surfside Beach.
