Roberts Creek (shíshálh Language: xwesam[2]) is a community on the southern Sunshine Coast, in British Columbia, Canada, and within Electoral Area D of the Sunshine Coast Regional District.
Roberts Creek sits on the border of the shíshálh swiya (land, birthplace, "Territory" of the shíshálh Nation)[3] and the territory of the Squamish Nation, roughly halfway between the Town of Gibsons and the District of Sechelt, the region's two main population centres.
