I have a creak in my living room and upon further inspection in my
basement I noticed that one of the floorboards under the hardwood
flooring has cracked. Is there a way to fix it without taking up the
hardwood flooring and replacing the entire board? The crack extends
about 12" and is very accessible from the basement, I was wondering if
there was a way to clamp it together to keep the cracked parts from
rubbing so much.

Bridge the split area with another board screwed to it from
underneath. Kinda doubt that is the source of your creak as the
finished floor isn't/shouldn't be laid parallel to the sub-floor.

Can't hurt to smear some wood glue on the board also.
