Armand Bayou, also known as Middle Bayou, is a river in U.S. State of Texas. It runs near Galveston Bay in Pasadena and the Clear Lake Area.

The river is most well known for the Armand Bayou Nature Center, which it runs through. The bayou and the nature center were named for Armand Yramatagui, former curator of the Burke Baker Planetarium and environmental leader in the 1960s.
