Muddy Fork is a tributary, about 6 miles (10 km) long, of the Sandy River in the U.S. state of Oregon. Arising at the base of Sandy Glacier on the west slope of Mount Hood, it flows west through the Mount Hood Wilderness in the Mount Hood National Forest. It joins the Sandy River in Old Maid Flat, about 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Rhododendron. The stream offers limited fishing for coastal cutthroat trout.
