For other uses of creek, see Creek (disambiguation).

In British English (and also in many other countries in the Commonwealth), a creek is a tidal water channel. Creeks may often dry to a muddy channel with little or no flow at low tide, but often with significant depth of water at high tide. In India the term also applies to the salt water inlets enclosed by mangroves. Creeks are found dispersed all along the Indian coast.
