TNT Creek is a small tributary of Hills Creek in Lane County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.[3] It enters the larger stream about 10.5 miles (16.9 km) above its confluence with the Middle Fork Willamette River at Hills Creek Reservoir.[3]

TNT Creek was named for an incident by a United States Forest Service ranger's mule that threw off a load of trinitrotoluene (TNT) by the creek.[4]
