Potato Creek is a tributary of the Allegheny River in McKean County, Pennsylvania in the United States.[1]

Potato Creek joins the Allegheny River approximately 1.7 miles (2.7 km) downstream of the community of Coryville.[1]

According to local history, Potato Creek was named from an incident when Indians lost some potatoes when their canoe capsized in the creek.[2]
