Tischer Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Minnesota.[1] It empties into Lake Superior in the city of Duluth on the grounds of the Glensheen Historic Estate. Its waters supply a 60,000 gallon reservoir and are used to maintain the grounds of the estate.[2][3]

Tischer Creek was named after Urs and Elizabeth Tischer, pioneers who settled the area in the 1850s.[3]
