Tenmile Creek is the outlet for a chain of lakes ending at Tenmile Lake near Lakeside in Coos County in the U.S. state of Oregon. The creek flows generally west for about 3 miles (5 km) from the lake to the Pacific Ocean. The stream's name stems from its approximate distance from Winchester Bay, the earliest pioneer village along this part of the coast.
