Red Bank Creek is a major stream in Tehama County, California, and a tributary of the Sacramento River.

About 39 miles (63 km) long,[1] it originates in the foothills of the Coast Ranges, near the boundary of the Mendocino National Forest, and flows east across the Sacramento Valley to join the Sacramento River near Red Bluff.

[5] According to a 1983 news article about a hazardous chemical spill into the creek following a 38-car railroad derailment stated "Red Bank Creek curls around the sprawling Diamond International lumber mill before emptying into the Sacramento River just above the Red Bluff Diversion Dam, where water is sent into the Tehama and Colusa canals".

[1] According to research by C. Hart Merriam (published by UC Berkeley) the Wi-e'-ker'-ril band of the Wintun people lived along Red Bank Creek.

[9][10][11] The camp was disbanded on November 4 and "the Companies marched into Red Bluff and dismissed".
