Gardiners Creek, originally known as Kooyongkoot Creek,[1] is an urban stream in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and part of the Yarra River catchment.

Apart from a few sparse surviving remnant riparian bushlands, the majority of the creek's length has been heavily urbanised, and it has been degraded in much the same way as other Melbourne eastern suburban streams such as the Mullum Mullum Creek and Koonung Creek. The Gardiners Creek Trail follows the creek for most of its length.
