Rock Creek is a village in Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. The population was 529 at the 2010 census.

The principal village festival is the Ox Roast. Its local elementary school, Rock Creek Elementary, had 285 students beginning the 2004–2005 school year, and the school's mascot is the Roadrunner.

In 2011, Rock Creek was featured in a comedic music video called "Rock Creek (My Town)" created by Kevin Cedar and directed by Chris Cedar. The video has reached over 10.000+ views and sarcastically mocks the idea of a rapper wanting to represent the small town of Rock Creek, OH. It was seen as controversial to some residents, while others use it as an anthem to show people what it's like to be from Rock Creek, OH.
