"Creepin'" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Eric Church. It was released in July 2012 as the fourth single from his album Chief. Church wrote the song with Marv Green.

The song is a mid-tempo in which the narrator describes the memory of a former lover as being similar to "creepin'". It is in the key of C major, mainly accompanied by guitars set in Drop C tuning (i.e., a whole step below drop D tuning). The song also includes a banjo, electric guitar, and several vocal effects on Church's voice.

Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine said that the song "slinks and slithers along a rhythm arrangement that owes more to vintage funk than traditional country". Giving it four stars out of five, Jessica Nicholson of Country Weekly said that it had "vivid imagery" and that "this swampy tune grabs the listener's attention from the get-go."

The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in September 2012.
