Whites Creek is a neighborhood of Davidson County in the U.S. state of Tennessee.[1] It is governed by the Metropolitan Council of Nashville and Davidson County, because the government of Davidson County is consolidated with that of Nashville.

The community is named for the creek of the same name running north–south along U.S. Route 431.

Whites Creek Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Davidson County, Tennessee on July 18, 1980.[2] It has some of the best preserved examples of the architectural and historical significance of this era in Middle Tennessee.[3]

Whites Creek Comprehensive High School is the community's only high school. The school is a part of the Metro Nashville Public Schools system.
