Rush Creek is a 27.2-mile-long (43.8 km) creek in California on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, running east and then northeast to Mono Lake.

Rush Creek is the largest stream in the Mono Basin, carrying 41% of the total runoff.

It was extensively diverted by the Los Angeles Aqueduct system in the twentieth century until California Trout, the National Audubon Society, and the Mono Lake Committee sued Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) for continuous low flows in Rush Creek to maintain trout populations in good condition, which was ordered by the court in 1985.
