Boggs Run is a small stream located in Marshall County, West Virginia, United States. It is a tributary of the Ohio River. The stream flows generally westward from its source in the hills of Marshall County to its confluence with the Ohio River near Benwood, West Virginia, a short distance south of Wheeling.

The watershed area of Boggs Run is relatively small, primarily consisting of forested hillsides and some residential and light industrial development near its mouth. Land use in the watershed has historically been impacted by coal mining and related activities, leading to some water quality concerns.

Boggs Run is typically a low-flow stream, with its water level highly dependent on rainfall. It is not navigable and is primarily utilized for local drainage.

The name "Boggs Run" is likely derived from an early settler or landowner in the area named Boggs. This naming convention is common for many small streams and waterways in the Appalachian region.
