Eastern Creek, a watercourse^[2] that is part of the Hawkesbury-Nepean catchment, is located in Greater Western Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Eastern Creek rises in the western suburbs of Sydney, below Sugarloaf Ridge at Western Sydney Regional Park about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) west by north of Smithfield. The creek flows generally north, joined by the Reedy, Angus, Bungarribee, Breakfast, Burdekin, Quakers, and Bells creeks, before reaching its confluence with South Creek, in the suburb of Vineyard. The creek descends 113 metres (371 ft) over its 30 kilometres (19 mi) course.^[1]

Eastern Creek is transversed by the M4 Western Motorway and the Great Western Highway between Prospect and Eastern Creek; and the Western railway line west of Doonside.
