This article is about the creek that forms the border between Delaware County and Philadelphia. For the West Philadelphia neighborhood that takes its name, see Cobbs Creek, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Cobbs Creek is a tributary of Darby Creek in Delaware County, Pennsylvania in the United States. It used to be called "Karakung" by Native Americans and there were a few mills established around the portion of the river located along Karakung Drive, in Haverford Township.

After Cobbs Creek passes underneath Township Line Road (U.S. Route 1), it forms the border between Philadelphia and Delaware County. It later joins Darby Creek before flowing into the Delaware River.
