Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek, Natural preserve in Haines City, United States

Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek Preserve is a Florida State Park of more than 8,000 acres (3,200 ha) on the Lake Wales Ridge in Haines City, Polk County. Its habitats range from scrub and sandhill to basin swamp and blackwater stream. Two pre-European contact archaeological sites, Ingram Ranch (PO10677) and Snodgrass Island (PO3866), lie within the park.

The preserve lies within the Florida Forever Catfish Creek project, created in 1990 to protect and restore more than 20,000 acres of high scrub ridges, lakes and part of the Lake Pierce shoreline. By 2025 the state had acquired 17,064 acres of the project land. Two pre-European contact archaeological sites, the Ingram Ranch Site (PO10677) and Snodgrass Island Site (PO3866), are in the park.
