Stony Creek is a 21-mile-long (34 km) tributary of the Nottoway River in southeastern Virginia of the United States.

From here it flows a short distance east through Stony Creek, Virginia to a confluence with the Nottoway River.

[6] The watershed of Stony Creek is punctuated by swampy areas and narrow floodplains.

Once in the Coastal Plain it widens out and acquires a wide floodplain with fringing swamps.

Petersburg Granite underlies most of the course and once in the Coastal Plain, it flows a short distance through the Windsor Formation and then through alluvium to the Nottoway River.
