Coal Creek is a small town in the South Gippsland area of Victoria, Australia, now essentially a suburb of Korumburra.

Coal was discovered in the area in 1872, and the region subsequently developed an important coal mining industry. The mine at Coal Creek operated from the 1880s to the 1958, when operations ceased. A Post Office was open from 1894 to 1897.[1]

Coal Creek Heritage Village, a 15 hectare open air museum, was established at the site in 1974.
