Rock Creek is a river in the U.S. states of Montana and Wyoming. It is a tributary of the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River in the Missouri River drainage basin.
Rock Creek flows from Glacier Lake, travels south into Wyoming before turning north back into Montana. It flows through the city of Red Lodge before entering the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River. When Rock Creek flooded in 2022, it caused significant damage to parts of Red Lodge.
Communities along the course of Rock Creek include Rockvale, Montaqua, Joliet, Roberts, and Red Lodge. U.S. Route 212 follows the river for most of its length.
