Barrow Creek is a small town with a roadhouse/hotel in the Northern Territory of Australia, located about 280 km north of Alice Springs on the Stuart Highway towards Tennant Creek. A number of mining groups have been exploring possible mining ventures at Barrow Creek, but at present no residents are involved in mining.

John McDouall Stuart named this site in 1860 after John Henry Barrow, a preacher, journalist and politician who was born in England in 1817 and migrated to South Australia in 1853. At the time of the creation of the town he was Treasurer of South Australia. The naming of the town after him seemed to have little impact on its fortunes as the government was defeated in 1873.

The population of Barrow Creek is currently 11 people, all of whom work together at the roadhouse. There are two Aboriginal communities - the Tara community which is 12 kilometres northeast and Pmatajunata at Stirling Station, which is about 35 kilometres from Barrow Creek.
