The Spruce Creek Mound Complex is a prehistoric and early historic site in Port Orange, Florida. It is located near Port Orange, on the southwest bank of Spruce Creek. On December 3, 1990, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The mound itself was large enough to be used as a point of navigation. Much of the debris is from local shellfish, harvested by Timucuan natives. Historic artifacts from the early colonial period suggest it was one of the villages of people known to the Spanish explorers and colonists.
