Foster & Creighton was a construction and civil engineering firm of Nashville, Tennessee. It has been known also as the Foster-Creighton Company, as the Foster and Creighton Co., and as Foster and Creighton Company.

It was founded in 1885 by Wilbur F. Foster (engineer) [Wikidata] and Robert T. Creighton, who had both served as City Engineer of Nashville. The firm did a lot of contract work for government civil engineering projects. A third partner was bought out, early on, and the firm was known as Foster–Creighton Company.[1]

A number of its works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][3]
