Coal Creek is a tributary of the Clinch River in Tennessee.

Coal Creek flows northward along the southeastern base of Cross Mountain, slicing a narrow valley in which the communities of Briceville and Fraterville are located, to Rocky Top at the eastern base of the Cumberland Plateau.

The creek's confluence with the Clinch River is east of Rocky Top and below Norris Dam, near the Interstate 75 highway bridge across the river.

Beech Grove Fork is its largest tributary stream.
