Brittain Creek is a stream in Henderson County, North Carolina, in the United States. It is a tributary of Mud Creek.
The stream was named for James C. Brittain, a pioneer who settled along the creek.[1] The name of the creek was long misspelled as Britton Creek until a descendant of James C. Brittain successfully appealed to the United States Board on Geographic Names in the 1980s.[2]
