Spring Creek is a 6.0-mile-long (9.7 km) tributary of the Susquehanna River in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania in the United States.

Spring Creek rises in Lower Paxton Township, flowing through adjacent areas such as Paxtang, Oakleigh, Progress, Lawnton, and Colonial Park. The stream flows in a westerly direction eventually joining the Susquehanna River in southern Harrisburg. The tributary Slotznick Run enters Spring Creek at Progress.

Spring Creek is notable for paralleling the 2-mile stretch of the Cameron Parkway section of the Capital Area Greenbelt in South Harrisburg dating since the 1910s. Spring Creek joins the Susquehanna at Harrisburg, just near the confluence of the Paxton Creek.
