The Boston Creek is a 70 km long right tributary of the Fish River in the central south of the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska .

The Boston Creek rises in the west of the Bendeleben Mountains at an altitude of about 670  m . It initially flows in an arc to the northeast and east through the mountains. The river eventually turns south and leaves the mountains. It reaches the basin landscape south of the Bendeleben Mountains. It flows through this in a south-south-east, later in an east-south-east direction. The Boston Creek shows a strongly meandering behavior.

The river was named in 1901 after a prospector .
