Ship Creek (Dena'ina: Dgheyaytnu) is an Alaskan river that flows from the Chugach Mountains into Cook Inlet.

[3] In early 1915, a tent city formed at the mouth of Ship Creek for workers involved in the construction of the Alaska Railroad.

In July 1923, President Warren G. Harding arrived at the Ship Creek rail station during his tour of the state to celebrate the completion of the Alaska Railroad and deliver several speeches in Anchorage.

[4] Ship Creek is a popular area for sport fishing and is considered the only urban king salmon fishery in the world.

After a swift descent over mountain bedrock, the creek flows along a sloping glacial outwash plain composed of relatively permeable coarse-grained alluvial deposits as it approaches Knik Arm.
