Reems Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of North Carolina.[1] It is a tributary to the French Broad River.

According to tradition, the creek derives its name from one Mr. Rims, a pioneer who was killed by Indians near its mouth.[2] Variant names are "Reams Creek", "Reem Creek", "Rheims Creek", and "Rims Creek".[1]
