The Stillwater Creek is an 8 km long right tributary of the Bering River in South Central Alaska (USA).

Stillwater Creek forms the outlet of Kushtaka Lake , which is fed by the Kushtaka Glacier . Stillwater Creek leaves the lake on its northeast bank. It flows mainly in a south-easterly direction. The river cuts through a ridge in the southeast of the Chugach Mountains . Since the Bering River was cut off by the Steller Glacier , Stillwater Creek supplies the main amount of water in the upper reaches of the Bering River.
