Neskowin Creek is a short stream near the coast of the U.S. State of Oregon. It flows generally west-northwest for about {{convert|10|mi}}{{cite web|title=Neskowin|url=https://nestuccawaters.org/watersheds/neskowin/|publisher=Nestucca, Neskowin, and Sand Lake Watersheds Council|date=2021|accessdate=June 26, 2023}} from the west slope of Neskowin Ridge in the Northern Oregon Coast Range to the Pacific Ocean. Passing through parts of the Siuslaw National Forest in southern Tillamook County, it crosses under U.S. Route 101 (the Oregon Coast Highway) and flows parallel to it until reaching Neskowin Beach State Recreation Site and the community of Neskowin. Proposal Rock, a small island near the shore, is adjacent to the mouth of the creek. Named tributaries from source to mouth are Sutton Creek, which enters from the right, Kingdom Creek from the left, then Sloan, Lewis, Jim, Prospect, and Kiwanda creeks, all from the right.
