Badger Creek is a suburb of Healesville in Victoria, Australia, 53 km north-east from Melbourne's central business district, located within the Shire of Yarra Ranges local government area.

The creek was possibly named after the wombats in the area which were often called badgers.

Other theories is that is it derived from the Woi Wurrung word badjurr, or that a horse named Badger, owned by one of the pioneering Ryrie brothers, became bogged in the creek [2] [1] Badger Creek was surveyed as a township in 1894, but was not settled to any extent until some time later.

[4] The weir in the Badger Creek reserve was constructed in 1909 and feeds water to the Silvan Reservoir.

Badger Creek won the 1911 Yarra Valley Football Association (Stevens, Olinda Hotel, Lilydale Trophy) premiership.
