Pine Log Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Georgia[2] It begins in Cherokee County, flows northwesterly through Bartow County, and then ends in Gordon County as a tributary of Salacoa Creek.[1] Little Pine Log Creek is a tributary that joins it in Gordon County.[1]

Pine Log Creek was named after the pine foot log at a Cherokee village along its course.[1]
