Pringle Creek is a small tributary of the Willamette River that drains a 15-square-mile (39 km2) area of Marion County in the U.S. state of Oregon.

[5] Pringle Creek consists of a network of small streams with courses greatly altered since the 19th century by urban development.

The combined waters then flow under a small bridge on Commercial Street and past a modern apartment complex that sits on land that was previously occupied by a Boise Cascade mill.

[5] McNary Field (Salem Municipal Airport) and the site of the former Fairview Training Center are in the Pringle Creek basin.

[5] The creek is named for Virgil K. Pringle, who emigrated from Missouri to Oregon in 1846 and settled a donation land claim near the stream.
