}}Piscataway Creek is an {{convert|18.6|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}}[1] tributary of the Potomac River in Prince George's County, Maryland. The creek is a tidal arm of the Potomac for its final {{convert|2.5|mi}}, entering the Potomac at Fort Washington Park. Tinkers Creek is a tributary to Piscataway Creek, converging from the north {{convert|4.5|mi}} upstream of the mouth of the Piscataway.[1] The United States Geological Survey records two variant names for Piscataway Creek: Pascattawaye Creek and Puscattuway Creeke.[2]

The Fort Washington Light was built to provide guidance for mariners entering Piscataway Creek from the Potomac River.
