Sorcery Creek is a tributary of Kakiddi Creek and part of the Stikine River watershed in northwest part of the province of British Columbia, Canada. From high peaks just south of Mount Edziza it flows generally east for roughly 13 km (8.1 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.
Sorcery Creek's mean annual discharge is estimated at 0.204 m3/s (7.2 cu ft/s). Its watershed covers 15.1 km2 (5.8 sq mi) and is entirely within Mount Edziza Provincial Park and Tenh Dẕetle Conservancy. The watershed's land cover is classified as 55.3% conifer forest, 20.0% barren, 13.2% shrubland, 6.0% herbaceous, 3.7% deciduous forest, 1.3% wetland, and small amounts of other cover.
The mouth of Sorcery Creek is located about 50 km (31 mi) southeast of Telegraph Creek, British Columbia, about 77 km (48 mi) north of Bob Quinn Lake, British Columbia, and about 245 km (152 mi) east of Juneau, Alaska.
Sorcery Creek is in Mount Edziza Provincial Park and the Tenh Dẕetle Conservancy, both of which lie within the traditional territory of the Tahltan First Nation, of the Tahltan people.
