The Canyon Creek ( Canyon Creek English for "canyon creek") is an 18 km long right tributary of the Bering River in south-central Alaska (USA).

Canyon Creek drains the Martin River Glacier on its southern edge at a height of about 400  m . It flows south through the Chugach Mountains . The river is flanked by two ridges that separate it to the west from Kushtaka Lake and to the east from Berg Lake . Canyon Creek finally meets the largely dry upper reaches of the Bering River. This continues to flow in a south-southwest direction to the Gulf of Alaska .
