Taddle Creek was a creek in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that flowed a southeasterly course about six kilometres long, from the present site of Wychwood Park through the University of Toronto, into the Toronto Harbour near the Distillery District. During the Industrial Age it was buried and converted into an underground sewer, but traces of the creek can still be found today. The scenic footpath known as Philosopher's Walk follows the ravine created by the creek from the Royal Ontario Museum to Trinity College.

"Taddle Creek" is also the name of a Toronto literary magazine.

Taddle Creek had other names during the 19th Century:

* Little Don River
* Brewery Creek - named for Enoch Turner’s brewery
* Goodwin Creek
* University Creek
* Wolz Creek - east of Jarvis after brewer Mr. Woltz

The disappearance of the creek came in phases in the 1800s:

* east of Church Street - before 1860
* Elizabeth St to Church St - early 1866
* University of Toronto sections - 1886
