Patterson Creek is a tributary of the North Branch Potomac River in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, in the United States. It enters the North Branch east of Cumberland, Maryland with its headwaters located in Grant County, West Virginia. Patterson Creek is the watershed for two-thirds of Mineral County.
