Pilchuck Falls is a waterfall on Pilchuck Creek in Skagit County, Washington, in the Puget Lowland region, with a total height of about 14 feet. It lies about 5.4 miles north of Bryant and roughly 18.4 miles north of Marysville as the crow flies.

The Puget Lowland is a glacially shaped basin of low hills, lakes and wetlands between the Olympics and the Cascades, once covered by Douglas fir and western red cedar and now the most settled part of Washington. Streams here run through terraces of glacial till and outwash, with waterfalls where creeks cut through the deposits.
