The Owl Creek Mountains (highest point, 9,665 ft/2,946 m) are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains in central Wyoming in the United States, running E-W to form a bridge between the Absaroka Range in the northwest and the Bridger Mountains to the east. It bounds the Bighorn Basin to the north and the Shoshone Basin to the south. The Wind River passes through the gap between the range and the Bridger Mountains to the east, and becomes the Bighorn River on the north side of the mountains. The range is entirely within the Wind River Indian Reservation.
