Pee Pee Creek is a stream in Pike County, Ohio, in the United States.[1]

Pee Pee Creek derives its name from Major Paul Paine, a pioneer settler who added his initials to a tree which stood along its banks.[2][3] Stones taken from Pee Pee Creek were used to construct the chimneys of pioneers' log cabins.[4]

Pee Pee Creek is noted for muskellunge fishing.[5]

The water from Pee Pee Creek flows into Crooked Creek in Ohio, a tributary of the Scioto River.
