Anderson Creek is a census-designated place[2] located in the Anderson Creek Township of Harnett County, North Carolina. It was first listed as a CDP in the 2020 census with a population of 13,636.[3] It is the largest community in Harnett County.[4]

It is a part of the Anderson Creek, NC Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Raleigh-Durham-Cary, NC Combined Statistical Area.[5]

Anderson Creek is located approximately 7 miles (11 km) to the north Of Spring Lake, Pope Air Force Base and Fort Liberty.

Current[when?] talks are in place on incorporating Anderson Creek as a town, which would entail a post office being opened in the community. Currently,[when?] most Anderson Creek residents have Spring Lake addresses with the zip code 28390. Anderson Creek is served by the Harnett County Sheriff's department for law enforcement and Anderson Creek Emergency Services for fire and emergency services.[6]

Anderson Creek is a fast-growing community. Increased rapid growth of the community can be attributed to the increase of the military at the nearby Fort Liberty, as well as the Davis Love III-created golf course, Anderson Creek Club.
