The Fork Stream is a river in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. It arises in the Gamack Range and flows south-east into the Tekapo River, which exits at Lake Benmore and eventually via the Waitaki River into the Pacific Ocean. Fraser Stream is a tributary.{{cite book|title=Reed New Zealand Atlas|year=2004|isbn=0-7900-0952-8|editor=Peter Dowling |publisher=Reed Books|pages=map 77}}{{cite book|title=Discover New Zealand:A Wises Guide|edition=9th|year=1994|page=377}} A high proportion of the stream's flow comes from snow melt.{{cite web|url=http://www.mfe.govt.nz/publications/water/waitaki-regional-plan-sep05/html/page3.html|title=The natural and physical resources and communities of Waitaki catchment|work=Waitaki Catchment Water Allocation Regional Plan|publisher=Ministry for the Environment|year=2005|accessdate=24 July 2009}}
