Spring Creek is a census-designated place (CDP) in central Elko County, in northeastern Nevada in the western United States.

It mainly serves as a bedroom community for the businesses and industries in and around the nearby city of Elko.

Spring Creek is located in a large valley between the Elko Hills[3] to the northwest, and the Ruby Mountains[4] to the southeast.

The central section of the community, another mile to the east, includes a park and lake ("The Marina"), and an 18-hole golf course and clubhouse.

The southern section of the community surrounds an indoor sports arena ("The Horse Palace"), and is adjacent to the Ruby Mountains and a community-owned campground.
