Brushy Creek is an unincorporated community in Anderson County, located in the U.S. state of Texas.

Settlers from South Carolina ended a long wagon train journey here in 1873 and named it Bushy Creek.

The settlement had three churches, steam-powered gins and gristmills, grain and livestock that were shipped into the community, and a population of 300 settlers by 1884.

A sawmill was built in the community in 1890 and it had a population of 100 inhabitants, as well as two coal mines operating just west of Brushy Creek.
