Pass Creek is a tributary of Elk Creek in the Umpqua River basin of the U.S. state of Oregon. It begins at Divide between the Coast Fork Willamette River watershed and the Umpqua watershed along Interstate 5 (I-5) in Lane County. It flows west into Douglas County and continues generally southwest to meet Elk Creek at the city of Drain, 24 miles (39 km) upstream of Elk Creek's confluence with the Umpqua.
From Divide through Curtin to Anlauf, I-5 runs along Pass Creek's upper reaches. Downstream of Anlauf, concurrent highways, Oregon Route 38 and Oregon Route 99, follow the creek to Drain. Named tributaries of Pass Creek from source to mouth are Ward, Bear, Pheasant, Buck, Rock, Sand, and Fitch creeks. Further downstream are Johnson, Krewson, and Hedrick creeks.
