Sams Creek, previously known as Rogers Creek or incorrectly as Roger Creek, is a stream in Golden Bay / Mohua in the Tasman District of New Zealand. Since 1974, the creek has had prominence due to gold mining proposals, and the area around Sams Creek was subsequently not included in Kahurangi National Park when it was formed in 1996.
