Husband Run is a small stream, about 1.86 mi (2.99 km) long, located in Venango County, Pennsylvania. It's known as a "first-order tributary," which means it's a stream that flows into a larger one, in this case, Oil Creek. Interestingly, this is the only stream named Husband Run in the entire United States. Most of Husband Run flows through the beautiful Oil Creek State Park.

Husband Run begins, or "rises," about 1 mile south of a place called Shamburg, Pennsylvania. From there, it flows generally towards the west-southwest. It travels this path until it meets and joins Oil Creek. This meeting point is about 1.5 miles southwest of Shamburg.
