普朗克提溪（英语：Plunketts Creek）是一个大约6.2英里（10千米）长的支流。流经美国宾夕法尼亚州莱康明和沙利文县. 两个非建制村庄和小村庄都在其流域。该溪的流域面积为23.6平方英里（61平方千米），途经五个乡镇。
普朗克提溪的名字来自第一个土地的所有者。小溪始流向西南，然后向南通过由密西西比亚期和泥盆纪时期岩石组成的阿勒格尼高原。
有两个小镇因此河得名（其中有一个已经更名）。溪谷山谷的大部分地区由各种冰川沉积物组成，主要是冲积层。
在19世纪，普朗克提溪的分水岭被砍伐殆尽，成为制革厂，锯木厂和煤矿的所在地。今天，这里林木茂盛，并因其高水质，垂钓和其他休闲机会而闻名。其分水岭现在成为Loyalsock州定森林，宾夕法尼亚州州立游憩公园和州立游憩农场（饲养野鸡）的一部份。本地区的旅游业，狩猎和捕鱼相当重要，人口也有增加。
