Spring Creek is an unincorporated community in Madison County, Tennessee, United States.

[2] Spring Creek was named for a nearby stream of the same name, a tributary of the Middle Fork of the Forked Deer River,[3] after a post office opened there in the spring of 1824.

[5] The Institute, later called Madison College, continued operation until it burned down in February 1876.

[6] The community remained mostly untouched during the American Civil War, save for commercial disruptions.

[7] Its main commerce at the time consisted of cotton and wheat production.
