Kakiddi Creek is a tributary of the Klastline River in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada.[4] It flows north about 35 km (22 mi) through two lakes in a broad hummocky lowland to join the Klastline River, which in turn is a tributary of the Stikine River.[1][4][5][6] Kakiddi Creek forms the northeastern boundary of Mount Edziza Provincial Park which lies within the traditional territory of the Tahltan people.[7][8]

Kakiddi Creek's watershed covers 709 km2 (274 sq mi) and its estimated mean annual discharge is 11.5 m3/s (410 cu ft/s).[3] The mouth of Kakiddi Creek is located about 25 km (16 mi) west of Iskut, 44 km (27 mi) east of Telegraph Creek and about 77 km (48 mi) south-southwest of Dease Lake.[1] Kakiddi Creek's watershed's land cover is classified as 46.6% conifer forest, 17.4% barren, 15.4% shrubland, 11.2% herbaceous, 5.4% snow/glacier, and small amounts of other cover.[3]
