Shaman Creek is a tributary of Kakiddi Lake, the source of Kakiddi Creek, and part of the Stikine River watershed in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada. From its source in the glaciers south of Mount Edziza it flows generally east for roughly 20 km (12 mi) to empty into Kakiddi Lake, an expansion of Kakiddi Creek, a tributary of the Klastline River, which in turn is a tributary of the Stikine River.
Shaman Creek's mean annual discharge is estimated at 2.43 m3/s (86 cu ft/s). Its watershed covers 153 km2 (59 sq mi) and is mostly within Mount Edziza Provincial Park. The watershed's land cover is classified as 44.9% conifer forest, 20.7% shrubland, 16.8% barren, 10.8% herbaceous, 3.1% snow/glacier, 2.3% wetland, and small amounts of other cover.
The mouth of Shaman Creek is located about 55 km (34 mi) southeast of Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, about 70 km (43 mi) north of Bob Quinn Lake, British Columbia, and about 250 km (160 mi) east of Juneau, Alaska.
Shaman Creek is in Mount Edziza Provincial Park, which lies within the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation, of the Tahltan people.
