Catskill Creek is a 46.0-mile-long (74.0 km) tributary of the Hudson River that drains the east northern Catskill Mountains of the U.S. state of New York. From its source at Franklinton Vlaie in Schoharie County it flows southeast through parts of Albany County and Greene County to its mouth at the village of Catskill on the Hudson River.

Like Fishkill Creek, Catskill Creek is tautological, literally repeating "creek" twice, as kill means “creek” in Dutch.
