Millcreek Township is a former township of south central Hamilton County, Ohio that was largely absorbed in the late Nineteenth Century by the annexation of suburban villages and outlying settlements by the City of Cincinnati. With only a few acres and residents left remaining outside the incorporated boundaries of Cincinnati, St. Bernard, Elmwood Place, and Norwood, Ohio, the township was formally dissolved in a series of legislation beginning in the late 1940s and ending in the early 1950s. The township's territory was encompassed within the Symmes Purchase, included the location of the original settlement of Cincinnati in 1787, as well as the core of Cincinnati's business district and many of its neighborhoods. All territory in the Cincinnati city limits is considered to be in Millcreek Township though the township does not exist as a civil jurisdiction.
