Sarakreek is a resort (≈ municipality) in the gold mining region of Brokopondo District in Suriname. Its population at the 2012 census was 3,076. It is served by the Sarakreek Airstrip. The resort is named after the eponymous creek.
A large part of Sarakreek was flooded after the construction of the Afobaka Dam, and the villages which were lost in the Brokopondo Reservoir were resettled in Marshallkreek and Tapoeripa.
