Rattlesnake Creek is a tributary, 57 miles (92 km) long, of Crooked Creek in the U.S. state of Oregon. The creek, which is intermittent, begins in the desert north of McDermitt in Malheur County. It joins Crooked Creek southeast of the intersection of U.S. Route 95 and Oregon Route 78 at Burns Junction, about 15 miles (24 km) from the larger stream's confluence with the Owyhee River.
