List of streams in Kitsap County, Washington

Encompassing much of the Kitsap Peninsula and its surrounding islands, Kitsap County, Washington contains over of streams. Streams on the western half of the peninsula drain into Hood Canal, while the relatively smaller streams of the eastern half drain into various inlets of Puget Sound. Many of these river systems serve as habitats for migratory salmonids. The county's streams generally emerge from lakes, groundwater discharge, and wetlands, with a lack of high elevations preventing significant snowmelt contribution. Many riparian areas are forested, with both deciduous and coniferous habitats present. The county is generally rural, with the population centered on six incorporated cities along the east coast, although some stream floodplains have been cleared for agricultural and residential use.
