Cornish Creek is a former rural locality in the Barcaldine Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2016 census, Cornish Creek had a population of 16 people.[1]

On 22 November 2019 the Queensland Government decided to amalgamate the localities in the Barcaldine Region, resulting in five expanded localities based on the larger towns: Alpha, Aramac, Barcaldine, Jericho and Muttaburra. Most of Cornish Creek was incorporated into Muttaburra, except for a small part of eastern Cornish Creek which was incorporated into Aramac.[3][4][5]
