Garrison Creek was a short stream about 6 kilometres long that flowed southeast into the west side of Toronto Harbour in Ontario, Canada. It has been largely covered over and filled in, but geographical traces of the creek can still be found. The natural amphitheatre known as Christie Pits is one such remnant; the south end of Trinity Bellwoods Park is another. The name "Garrison Creek" was used because Fort York was built near the creek mouth.

Volunteers lead popular tours of the course of the old watershed.

Tributaries along the creek included:

* Springmount Stream
* London Stream
* Dewson Stream
* Asylum Stream
* Stafford Stream
* Denison Creek:
** Brock Stream
** Havelock Stream
** Moutray Stream
