Elk Creek is a stream in Lewis and Clark County, Montana. The creek provides fishing opportunities and vegetation and water to nearby animals.

Flow course Elk Creek begins near Steamboat Mountain. It then flows northeast where it joins Cataract Falls and Cataract Creek. It then continues northeast and passes under Montana Highway 435. It continues northeast, flowing through Augusta. After going through Augusta, Elk Creek reaches Gilman, where it joins the Sun River. However, the creek is often dry for most of its course due to an ongoing drought.
