普朗克提溪（英語：Plunketts Creek）是一個大約6.2英里（10公里）長的支流。流經美國賓夕法尼亞州萊康明和沙利文縣. 兩個非建制村莊和小村莊都在其流域。該溪的流域面積為23.6平方英里（61平方公里），途經五個鄉鎮。
普朗克提溪的名字來自第一個土地的所有者。小溪始流向西南，然後向南通過由密西西比亞期和泥盆紀時期岩石組成的阿勒格尼高原。
有兩個小鎮因此河得名（其中有一個已經更名）。溪谷山谷的大部分地區由各種冰川沉積物組成，主要是沖積層。
在19世紀，普朗克提溪的分水嶺被砍伐殆盡，成為製革廠，鋸木廠和煤礦的所在地。今天，這裡林木茂盛，並因其高水質，垂釣和其他休閒機會而聞名。其分水嶺現在成為Loyalsock州定森林，賓夕法尼亞州州立遊憩公園和州立遊憩農場（飼養野雞）的一部份。本地區的旅遊業，狩獵和捕魚相當重要，人口也有增加。
