Elevenmile Creek is a river on Douglas Island in the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ), Alaska, United States. Its origin is in hills to the southeast and it flows northwest to Fritz Cove, a part of Stephens Passage; it is 1.6 miles (2.6 km) southwest of Entrance Point and 8.6 miles (13.8 km) west of the city of Juneau.
The name refers to the stream's location, between the ten- and eleven-mile markers of the North Douglas Highway. The name was supplied by the United States Geological Survey in 1962 and it was entered into the Geographic Names Information System on March 31, 1981.
A chemical water quality record for the stream dates to 1967. A 1986 panning of water from Elevenmile Creek exhibited a small amount of lead.
A wood harvest area owned by the state of Alaska extends south of the highway from Cove Creek to Elevenmile Creek. The stream also runs through CBJ-owned land.
