Bilgola Creek is an urban gully or open channel that is located in the northern beaches region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Course and features
Bilgola Creek rises about {{convert|1|km}} west of Bilgola Head and flows generally east by south, from the Bilgola Escarpment through Littoral rainforest, coastal woodland and coastal clay heath communities directly out onto {{NSWcity|Bilgola Beach}} and into the Tasman Sea. A smaller ephemeral creek line also flows down from the escarpment at the northern end of Bilgola Beach.
