Shaker Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Ohio.[1] The 8.7-mile (14.0 km) long stream empties into Dicks Creek.[1]

Shaker Creek was so named after the Shakers who settled near it.[2] The area around Shaker Creek once formed a wetland called Shaker Swamp; the latter was drained and the land reclaimed.[3]
