Southworth Creek is a stream, about 5 miles (8 km) long, in Lincoln County, in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is a tributary of the Alsea River, which it enters upstream of Waldport and the Pacific Ocean. It flows north from the slopes of Burnt Timber Mountain to join the larger stream at an elevation of just 7 feet (2.1 m) above sea level.
