Foster & Creighton was a construction and civil engineering enterprise headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. It was also recognized under the names Foster-Creighton Company, Foster and Creighton Co., and Foster and Creighton Company. Established in 1885 by Wilbur Fisk Foster and Robert T. Creighton—both previously serving as Nashville City Engineers—the company focused primarily on civil engineering contracts for government entities. Early on, the departure of a third partner led to the firm adopting the Foster–Creighton designation permanently.
Numerous projects completed by the firm have earned places on the National Register of Historic Places.
