Los Cedros[1][2] Creek (Quebrada Los Cedros[1][2] in Spanish) is a stream in Peru located in Huaylas Province, Ancash. It is a right tributary of the Santa River which flows to the Pacific Ocean.[1][2]

It originates west of mount Alpamayo[1][2] and runs mainly to the west until its confluence with the Santa River near the village of Los Cedros.[1][2]

The upstream section receives the name Alpamayo (possibly from Quechua allpa earth, mayu river,[3] "earth river").[1][2]
