Thanes Creek is a rural locality in the Southern Downs Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] The locality is just north of the Cunningham Highway about 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Warwick.

[3] The locality was named after the creek, which was in turn named after John Thane, a pioneer pastoralist of the Ellangowan Run, who drowned in the Condamine River in 1844.
