Fox Creek is a 24.8-mile-long (39.9 km)[2] tributary of Schoharie Creek in Schoharie and Albany counties in the U.S. state of New York. It rises in the southeastern part of the town of Berne, west of the Helderberg Mountains, and flows west, passing through the hamlets of East Berne, Bensons Corner, Berne, and West Berne, continuing through the town of Wright, where it passes the hamlets of Gallupville and Shutter Corners before entering the town of Schoharie, where it flows into Schoharie Creek near the hamlet of Vroman Corners. Fox Creek is part of the Hudson River watershed, Via Schoharie Creek and the Mohawk River.

Near its mouth it is crossed by the Schoharie Bridge, a covered bridge near the Old Stone Fort, an American Revolutionary War-era structure.
