Creg-na-Baa is a right-hand corner on the road junction of primary A18 road and secondary B12 'Creg-na-Baa Back-Road' in the parish of Onchan in the Isle of Man.

Creg-na-Baa is situated between the 35th Milestone and 36th Milestone on the A18 road. The word Creg-na-Baa [kreg no bæ:] is from Manx Gaelic meaning the "rock of the cow."[1] The area is dominated by the Keppel Hotel or Creg-ny-Baa Public House.[2]

The Creg-na-Baa corner was part of the Highland Course and Four Inch Course used for the Gordon Bennett Trial and Tourist Trophy automobile car races between 1904 and 1911. Also, Creg-na-Baa is part of the Mountain Course used since 1911 for the Isle of Man TT and Manx Grand Prix Races.

To facilitate racing on the Clypse Course for the 1954 Isle of Man TT Races, during the winter of 1953/54 road widening occurred on the Mountain Course at Creg-na-Baa along with Signpost Corner, Cronk-ny-Mona and the approach to Governor's Bridge.[3]
