Westchester Creek (also known as Frenchman's Creek) is a tidal inlet of the East River located in the south eastern portion of The Bronx in New York City. It is 2.1 miles (3.39 km) in length. Pugsley's Creek is a right bank tributary of Westchester Creek. Ferry Point Park is on the east bank.[1]

The first permanent European settlement in The Bronx, the town of Westchester, was established in 1654, by Thomas Pell and 15-20 settlers at the head of navigation of Westchester Creek.[2] Westchester Creek can be seen on the Hutchinson River Parkway near exit 1. The Bruckner Interchange straddles the creek.
