Licking Creek is a 56.6-mile-long (91.1 km) tributary of the Potomac River in Pennsylvania and Maryland in the United States.
Licking Creek is born on the west slope of Tuscarora Mountain, near Cowans Gap State Park, flows through eastern Fulton County and a corner of Franklin County in Pennsylvania, and then enters Washington County in Maryland, to join the Potomac River downstream of Hancock.
