Swift Creek is a 44.9-mile-long (72.3 km)[1] river in the U.S. state of Virginia.

It rises west of Richmond in Powhatan County near U.S. Route 60 and travels southeast through Powhatan County and into Chesterfield County southwest of Hallsboro.

After a series of twists and turns it courses into Pocahontas State Park, where it then forms Swift Creek Lake.

After flowing out of Pocahontas State Park and into southeastern Chesterfield County, it eventually forms the northern boundary of Colonial Heights, where it joins the Appomattox River.
