Wolf Creek is a tributary of the Great Miami River in southwestern Ohio in the United States. It rises in western Montgomery County, northwest of Brookville, and flows generally southeast, passing through the center of Trotwood and joining the Great Miami in downtown Dayton.

Wolf Creek was named for the frequent wolves seen there in pioneer days.
