Tennessee Creek is a stream in Lake County, Colorado. It rises on the south side of Tennessee Pass near the Eagle County-Lake County line.
The creek joins with the East Fork Arkansas River northwest of Leadville to form the Arkansas River. At the confluence of Tennessee Creek and East Fork Arkansas River, the river that bears only the name "Arkansas River" begins.
