Black Creek is a village in north-central Outagamie County, Wisconsin, United States.

Origins of the community trace back to 1862 when it was settled by American Civil War veteran, Thomas J. Burdick and his son, Abraham.

Initially, the village had been referred to as Middleburg, due to its geographical proximity to Green Bay, Shawano, and Appleton.

[9] The territory where Black Creek is today was originally occupied by several different Native American nations.

To commemorate the village's baseball history, a "Grudge Match" softball game is played annually.
